Vietjet Thailand has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation to bolster efforts against the impacts of El Niño and air pollution in Thailand.
This partnership will see Vietjet Thailand aiding in public relations, information dissemination, and the transportation of essential supplies to affected areas, enhancing the country’s disaster response capabilities.
The collaboration comes as Thailand braces for severe drought and haze, exacerbated by the anticipated super El Niño in 2026–2027.
Saranyu Poollarp, Director-General of the Department of Royal Rainmaking, highlighted the significant risks posed to agriculture and water security, noting that the partnership will enable more effective support to communities, particularly in the North and Northeast.
Woranate Laprabang, CEO of Vietjet Thailand, emphasised the airline’s commitment to environmental and social sustainability, stating, “This collaboration reinforces our commitment to advancing royal initiatives in a tangible and continuous manner.”
Vietjet Thailand will also engage in technical knowledge exchange, focusing on aviation technology, and disaster mitigation.
The initiative supports Vietjet Thailand’s Fly Green Fund, which promotes environmental conservation through projects like Garbage Hunter & Scuba and Fly Green Forest – Mangrove. These efforts aim to restore ecosystems and protect the environment for a sustainable future.
Established in 2014, Vietjet Thailand operates 12 domestic routes and is expanding its international network across Asia-Pacific. The airline has received multiple accolades for its service and commitment to sustainability.
