The newly-built Training Center, located at CT Plaza (60A Truong Son, Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City), is a spacious, state-of-the-art, modern facility, which will facilitate the growing demands for aviation and service training fuelled by VietJet’s impressive growth.

The year 2014 was a difficult one for both local and foreign-owned enterprises in Vietnam but for VietJet, it was a big year of success. The airline surpassed its growth targets by earning VND8.1 trillion in revenue and paying VND1.4 trillion of taxes to the State budget.

VietJet also achieved its development goals by raising its fleet to 20 Airbus aircraft and expanding its domestic and international networks.

For the year, the airline served 5.6 million passengers with a load factor of 88%. With 28 domestic and international routes, VietJet currently flies to every major economic and tourism center in Vietnam and to major cities and tourist destinations in Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, South Korea and Taiwan.

This year, VietJet will continue to develop in a sustainable way by adding more domestic and international routes, creating more joint ventures and maintaining its position as the leading new-age airline in Vietnam and one of the fastest-growing airlines across the region.

“Since entering the aviation market, VietJet has been able to offer more and more flying opportunities to millions of customers. Thirty percent of our customers flew for the first time thanks to VietJet. We have transformed the air travel industry in Vietnam by making air travel affordable and convenient, and we will continue to follow this path as we expand across the region,” said Managing Director Mr. Luu Duc Khanh.
