Vietjet Wins Major International Awards
By Geoffrey Thomas Tue May 28, 2024
AirlineRatings.com has named VietJet as its Best Ultra Low-Cost Airline and Best Low-Cost Airline Onboard Hospitality for 2024 recognising its low fares, innovation and its great value in-flight offering.
Since launching in December 2011, the airline has grown its fleet and subsequently, its number of destinations, opening up travel to all including those that perhaps couldn’t afford air travel previously. It was the first private airline in Vietnam to offer domestic and international services. The airline has carried well over 100 million passengers and covered over 120 routes across the Asia-Pacific region.
Airlineratings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas commented that the airline is "extremely clever in its marketing and has amazing fares but behind the scenes is a very smart and serious business plan that brings affordable travel to millions."
VietJet Air has also been awarded AirlineRatings.com highest ranking for safety with 7 stars since 2018. It is a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) with the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certificate and a technical reliability rate standing at 99.64%.
Mr Thomas said: “The airline has a very modern fleet of Airbus aircraft and operationally is now up there with the very best. Vietjet is a critical part of Vietnam’s booming economy and is enabling tourism to soar. The airline’s value to Vietnam cannot be measured in just passenger numbers. This is great news for the travelling public and tourists in the region".
