Vietjet Aviation Joint Stock Company has released its audited financial report for the first half of 2025, reporting strong growth and reinforcing its position as a rising global carrier. Vietjet now operates four direct services linking Singapore with Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Phu Quoc and Da Nang and is boosting its services to Da Nang and Phu Quoc with 49 round-trip flights weekly between Singapore and Vietnam by the end of this year.

The airline’s performance reflects Vietnam’s emergence as a key aviation hub in Asia and worldwide, while expanding its international network with a new direct route to Manila, Philippines.

Robust Financial Growth

In the first six months of 2025, Vietjet achieved air transport revenue of VND35.601 trillion (approx. SGD1.73 billion), with a pre-tax profit of nearly VND1.6 trillion (approx. SGD77.80 million), marking a 37% Year-on-Year (YoY) increase. Consolidated revenue was VND35.837 trillion (approx. SGD1.74 billion), with a pre-tax profit surpassing VND1.651 trillion (approx. SGD80.26 million), reflecting a staggering 65% YoY growth.

During this period, Vietjet operated 79,000 flights, transporting 14.4 million passengers and contributing over VND4.528 trillion (approx. SGD219.83 million) in taxes and fees. The company’s financial indicators remain strong, with excellent liquidity and consolidated assets exceeding VND112 trillion (approx. SGD5.44 billion).

Fleet Expansion and Strategic Investments

Vietjet continued its fleet expansion, ordering 20 A330neo aircraft with Airbus, raising its total order for A330neo to 40, making it the airline with the largest A330neo order in the world.

At the 2025 Paris Air Show, Vietjet secured a historic order for 100 A321neo aircraft, along with 50 purchase options—the largest deal in the industry—positioning Vietjet among the top 10 airlines globally in terms of aircraft orders.

Additionally, Vietjet and Rolls-Royce have signed an agreement for 40 Trent 7000 engines to power 20 wide-body Airbus A330neo aircraft, bringing the total number of Trent 7000 engines ordered by the airline to 80.

Vietjet has broken ground on its Aircraft Maintenance Technical Center at the under-construction Long Thanh International Airport, featuring Hangars 3 and 4 capable of servicing 10 aircraft simultaneously. Additionally, self-service ground operations have been rolled out at major airports to optimise operations and enhance the passenger experience.

International Expansion: Ho Chi Minh City–Manila Route

Vietjet will launch a new direct service linking Ho Chi Minh City with Manila, beginning 22 November 2025, with five weekly round-trip flights. This route marks the airline’s first direct connection between Vietnam and the Philippines. Together with flight increases between Vietnam and Singapore, this connectivity will support seamless travel, trade, and cultural exchange in Southeast Asia.

Travellers can now book their seats at attractive introductory fares.    

Recognised Excellence and Strategic Vision

Vietjet has been recognised by AirlineRatings as the “World’s Best Ultra Low-Cost Carrier” and ranked among the Top 5 revenue-generating enterprises by Forbes Vietnam for 2024. The airline continues to expand its footprint, having launched new routes to Singapore, China, India, and Japan in 1H2025, with more international services planned.

With a modern, fuel-efficient fleet, professional cabin crew, and innovative service offerings, Vietjet remains committed to delivering exceptional value and comfort while driving sustainable growth and global expansion.
