Safety is the cornerstone of any reputable airline, and Vietnam Airlines (VNA) continues to set benchmarks in the aviation industry. Through a series of significant achievements, VNA has solidified its position in the AirlineRating’s World’s Safest Airlines for 2025 Awards.

Vietnam Airlines’ has shown commitment to operational excellence through repeated attainment of the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification. The IOSA certification is recognized globally as a hallmark of operational safety, and VNA’s consistent re-certification speaks volumes about its dedication to maintaining the highest levels of safety in its operations. This achievement not only reinforces trust among passengers but also strengthens the airline’s global reputation.

In 2023, Vietnam Airlines had the distinct honour of hosting the IATA World Safety and Operations Conference. This prestigious event, attended by key players in the aviation industry, highlighted VNA’s credibility and leadership in the realm of aviation safety. The decision by IATA to select Vietnam as the host country reflects not just the airline’s exemplary safety record but also its pivotal role in advancing safety initiatives on a global scale.

AirlineRatings CEO Sharon Petersen said', ‘Vietnam Airlines have not had a fatal accident in 27 years nor have they had any serious incidents. The airline operates a fleet of 100 modern aircraft with an average age under 10 years and the company has passed its IOSA certification without fail since 2006. In addition to this the country of Vietnam has also made huge strides in aviation safety with better airports, navigation system upgrades and far more stringent protocols. All of this combined secures them a spot in our top 25.’

Vietnam Airlines further demonstrated its commitment to aviation safety by hosting a high-profile airline symposium led by Professor Taneja, a prominent figure in the industry. This event provided a platform for knowledge sharing and innovation, showcasing VNA’s role as a thought leader in aviation safety. By facilitating discussions on best practices and cutting-edge safety measures, VNA reinforced its reputation as a driver of progress within the aviation community.
