US$152.7 million) of profit to the parent company for asset investment in acquiring one new A321 NEO aircraft from Airbus, two A321 aircraft from lessors and three aircraft engines.

Vietjet has transported 20.5 million passengers on 116,000 flights in 2022, of which domestic transport grew by 20% over 2019’s, supporting the airline’s recovery momentum. The number of domestic passengers transported in Q4/2022 increased seven fold YOY and was higher than the pre-pandemic growth rate of 24%.

To accommodate its stratety of expanding and growing middle-range international flight network, Vietjet has developed a widebody fleet of 3 A330 aircraft. The airline has opened 20 new routes last year with a focus on the Indian market to connect economic-tourism hubs like New Delhi Mumbai to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. As of December 31, 2022, Vietjet operated 103 flight routes.

Eyeing to operate across continents and bring the flying opportunities to millions of people, Vietjet never ceases to develop its international network with new routes to Astana and Almaty (Kazakhstan) and Melbourne and Sydney (Australia). Such efforts also put Vietjet in the leading role to promote the economic-trade-tourism relationships between Vietnam and other countries, helping to bring Vietnam’s image to the world while taking local and international tourists to destinations in the country. The airline has contributed greatly to the State budget and the community.

Statistics in 2022 indicated a robust recovery of the aviation industry post-pandemic. In Q4/2022, Vietjet’s parent company reported a net revenue of VND7,352 billion (approx. US$315.5 million), leaping by 175% YOY with a profit of VND902 billion (approx. US$38.7 million). The total revenue for 2022 was VND32,506 billion (approx.

In 2023, Vietjet continues to set high goal of revenue growth based on the reopening of the Chinese market while further promoting international markets of great potential like India, South Korea, Japan, Australia, etc. It is of the utmost urgency that the Government considers lifting the price cap on flights and allows for fuel surcharge to strengthen the positions and competitive capabilities of domestic airlines as a wave of international airlines is expected to land in Vietnam this year.
