Vietjet, under the leadership of Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, is making significant strides in the aviation industry by expanding its international network and enhancing its presence in Singapore. The airline, which first landed in Singapore in 2014, now operates 78 weekly flights between Vietnam and Singapore, serving over 500,000 passengers annually. This expansion is part of Dr. Thao’s ambitious vision to transform Vietjet into a multinational powerhouse whilst maintaining affordable air travel.
The airline’s growth is driven by a values-based approach that prioritises economic growth, cultural exchange, and social mobility. In a recent address to over 9,000 employees from more than 60 countries, Dr. Thao emphasised the airline’s mission to make air travel accessible and contribute to community development. She stated, “We have brought the image of Vietjet closer to the world, serving as a bridge for economic growth between nations.”
Singapore plays a crucial role in Vietjet’s expansion strategy. On 30 May 2025, the airline launched its fourth route to Singapore, connecting the city with Phu Quoc. This development aligns with Singapore’s robust air travel recovery, with Changi Airport experiencing record passenger movements.
Dr. Thao’s leadership extends beyond business, focusing on creating an interconnected future that integrates aviation with tourism and finance. As Vietjet continues its global journey, it remains committed to innovation, inclusion, and human connection, offering a new model of aviation that elevates lives and empowers people.
