Vietjet has once again been recognized by HR Asia as one of the Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2026, marking the sixth consecutive year the low-cost carrier has earned this distinction. In a first for the airline, it also received the HR Asia Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Award, reflecting its ongoing efforts to build a people-centric and inclusive corporate culture.
The HR Asia Awards are an annual benchmark for human resource excellence across the region, evaluating organizations on employee engagement, workplace culture, and HR practices. Vietjet’s dual win signals to the travel industry that its workforce strategy is a core driver of its operational growth and global ambitions.
Workforce Demographics and Talent Development
Vietjet employs nearly 10,000 staff from over 68 countries, with a notable concentration of young professionals aged 20 to 30. This demographic brings fresh perspectives and innovation, which the airline channels through its Victoria Aviation Academy. The academy delivers international-standard aviation training and leadership programs, ensuring a pipeline of skilled talent for the carrier’s expanding network.
The airline’s investment in employee well-being is evident in its modern workplace amenities, including dedicated dining areas, a cinema room, a gym, and yoga facilities. Regular cultural and team-building activities further reinforce a collaborative environment.
“This recognition is a testament to our commitment to creating a professional and inspiring workplace where every employee can thrive,” said a Vietjet representative. “Our people are central to our growth strategy, and these awards validate our efforts to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
Vietjet’s focus on human capital comes as the airline continues to expand its route network. Recent developments include the restoration of its Da Lat network following the reopening of Lien Khuong International Airport, as well as the launch of Vietnam Halal Connect to tap into the Muslim travel market. The carrier also recently ran a promotional campaign offering USD0 eco fares and a 20% discount on premium seats during its 7/7 Double Day Sale.
The dual HR Asia accolades position Vietjet as an employer of choice in the competitive aviation sector, where talent retention and recruitment are critical. As the airline aims to become a globally connected, people-focused carrier, its HR strategy will remain a key pillar of its business model.
