Vietjet has been honored for the ‘Best Low-Cost Airline Onboard Hospitality for 2023’ for the first time and named again as the ‘Best Ultra Low-Cost Airline’ for the 5th year in a row.
The double international awards were selected by AirlineRatings, a globally renowned airline safety and product rating website.
The budget airline, listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) as VJC, was recognized for its newly launched SkyBoss Business class that includes premium services on wide-body aircraft, including comfy leather flatbeds and incredible on-board cuisine.
“Vietjet has been recognized for its constant efforts on diversifying new and quality aviation products. The airline has put the A330 wide-body aircraft into operation, offering the premium class of SkyBoss Business, which enhances the seamless pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight’s experiences of flyers. Those services are pioneering and revolutionary for a low-cost airline,” said AirlineRatings editor-in-chief Geoffrey Thomas.
AirlineRatings has also rated Vietjet at seven-star level, the highest ranking for aviation safety in the world, as well as the world’s top 10 safest and best low-cost airlines for many years. It was voted as the ‘Value Airline of the Year’ last year also by AirlineRatings.
The AirlineRatings “Airline Excellence Awards” has been hosted since 2013 to honor the world’s best airlines. This year awards were judged by five editors with decades of industry experience, combining major safety and government audits with key criteria that include: fleet age, passenger reviews, profitability, investment rating, product offerings, and others.
The world’s best airline 2023 list also names Air New Zealand, Qatar Airways, Ethiad Airways, and Singapore Airlines.
VJC shares ended down 0.72% at VND96,800 ($4.12) at the close on Friday.
