Vietjet’s Executive Vice President, To Viet Thang, speaks about Vietjet’s role as a growth enabler, creating value for investors, and contributing to the development of Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam.
As the first private airline to list on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) in February 2017, Vietjet’s VJC shares achieved a market capitalization of 1.2 billion USD in their debut, accounting for 1.5% of the total market cap. VJC swiftly joined the VN30 group and has consistently delivered value to domestic and foreign investors. The listing demonstrated the company’s commitment to transparency and sustainable growth, contributing to the formation of a robust economy and international financial market, attracting investments.
“Vietjet aims not only to become a global airline but also to remain a dedicated partner in the development of Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam,” affirmed the Executive Vice President. He highlighted their multi-dimensional aviation solutions, fostering trade, investment, and tourism, elevating the city and the country as a regional and global aviation and economic hub.
Vietjet’s modern fleet, adorned with the red and gold flag and the melody of “Hello Vietnam,” has become the country’s amicable ambassador, connecting Vietnam to over 100 international destinations. It expands opportunities for Vietnamese goods, products, and services to access global markets, serving as a growth enabler and facilitating cultural and educational exchanges.
In the coming decade, Vietjet plans to expand its network across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas while developing an aviation-centric ecosystem encompassing finance and tourism. Alongside Vietjet’s flights, iconic Vietnamese cuisine and culture, products, and services will “fly high” to reach a global audience. The success of Vietjet Thailand and Vietjet Kazakhstan exemplifies the effective globalization of the Vietjet brand.
“Each flight presents an opportunity to bring Vietnamese products and services closer to global consumers through inflight experiences, cross-border communications, and collaborations with international partners,” the airline’s leader emphasized. “We are committed to being a catalyst for trade and cultural exchanges, accompanying the nation’s progress.”
At the Made by Vietnam Forum, Vietjet was honored with the “Inspirational Vietnamese Brand Impression” award, recognizing its contributions to the nation and the significant global impact of the Vietjet brand.
