The Vietnam Airlines Touch at the Country Achievements Exhibition

The Vietnam Airlines exhibition space spans 1,500 square meters, the largest among aviation participants, and is centrally located in the aerospace section of the “Sky Aspiration” zone. With the message “Soaring with the Country,” the space is designed as an immersive journey, recounting the 30-year formation and development of Vietnam’s national airline.

The exhibition design follows a chain of five emotional journeys. “Energy Origin” introduces the history and aspiration to conquer the skies. “Emotional Journey” portrays the ground services ecosystem and green development efforts. “Soaring with Love” honors in-flight services and the dedication of pilots and flight attendants. “The Rising Era” presents a future vision with a modern fleet, digital transformation, simulation technology, and virtual reality, symbolizing the country’s integration and development aspirations. “Development Era” showcases the global network, international awards, and service quality affirmations.

From now until September 5, 2025, Vietnam Airlines’ “Sky Aspiration” pavilion at the “80 Years of Independence, Freedom, and Happiness” exhibition promises to be a must-visit destination for attendees. Immerse yourself in modern aviation technology, discover impressive cultural spaces, and capture brilliant moments during this grand celebration.

Minister of Construction Tran Hong Minh visited the Vietnam Airlines engine display, featuring two representative engines. The D-30 engine, from the Tupolev aircraft, is associated with the early days of Vietnamese aviation, while the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engine, used in the Airbus A350, is among the most modern in the world and is currently operated by Vietnam Airlines. Produced in 1985, the D-30 engine was retired in 1995. The Trent XWB engine delivers a maximum thrust of 84,000 pound-force, offering substantial fuel savings of up to 25% compared to its predecessor, with over 10 million safe flight hours. This engine significantly reduces emissions and noise, meeting the latest international environmental standards. Vietnam Airlines currently operates 31 Trent XWB engines, with over 1,250 of the same type in service globally.

The Aircraft Model Display and Stage Area host daily interactive activities such as flight attendant uniform showcases from different eras, flight attendant role-playing, and games. This area creates a lively and engaging atmosphere for visitors.

The Airbus A320/321 Flight Simulator, the first of its kind in Northern Vietnam, offers visitors a chance to experience take-off and landing sensations like a pilot. It also demonstrates the integration of modern technology in aviation training. Vietnam Airlines’ Flight Training Center in Ho Chi Minh City operates flight simulators for various modern aircraft, including the Airbus A320, A321, A350, and Boeing 787. These devices contribute to international standard pilot training and development, fostering a high-quality workforce for Vietnamese aviation.

In the Wide-body Cabin Simulator, visitors can experience in-flight internet services, recently introduced by Vietnam Airlines on the Airbus A350, along with modern entertainment systems, comfortable seating, and virtual reality technology. This area helps visitors envision the exceptional quality of services offered by Vietnam Airlines.

The final stop is the Historical Wall, chronicling Vietnam Airlines’ significant milestones from its early days to the present. Vietnamese aviation was established on the foundation of the revolutionary air force, closely linked to the 919 Air Force Regiment, a heroic unit. This area emphasizes Vietnam Airlines’ role as the national carrier, always accompanying the country’s growth. Building on this tradition, Vietnam Airlines will continue to thrive, contributing to the nation’s integration and global reach.

Vietnam Airlines flight attendants showcase uniforms from different eras, from the early days of taking to the skies to the present, reflecting the airline’s solid position on the world aviation map.
