Vietnam Airlines was formerly known as Vietnam Civil Aviation Administration, and Vietnam Airlines Corporation was formally established in 1996. Vietnam Airlines (Vietnam Airlines; Chinese abbreviation: Vietnam Airlines) is also called Vietnam National Airlines (Vietnamese: T? ng c& ocirc; ng ty Hàng kh& ocirc; ng Qu? c gia Vi? T Nam, which can be translated as: Vietnam National Airlines Corporation).
Vietnam Airlines is wholly owned by the Vietnamese government. On June 11, 2111, Vietnam Airlines officially joined SkyTeam, one of the world's three major aviation alliance organizations, thus becoming the first airline in Southeast Asia to join SkyTeam and a pioneer in this industry in Southeast Asia.
In p>1995, Vietnam established Vietnam Airlines Corporation on the basis of integrating more than 21 original air transport and service companies, with 43 aircraft with an average age of less than 11 years, opening 23 routes in 16 domestic cities and 41 routes in 26 foreign cities, and setting up 28 offices and more than 1,111 agency points in various countries, which has significantly improved the transport capacity and service quality. On this basis, in 2114, Vietnam Airlines announced its five-year strategic plan for 2115-2111: by 2111, the company will have 73 aircraft of various types, with an annual passenger volume of 12 million passengers and a freight volume of 21? 51 thousand tons. According to the plan, Vietnam Airlines will also carry out joint-stock reform in 2118, absorbing external funds, advanced technology and management experience to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
after the reform and opening up, Vietnam's economy has been developing continuously, and foreign business, tourism and cultural exchanges have become increasingly frequent. Vietnam Airlines has also ushered in a good period of rapid development. In 2115 alone, Vietnam Airlines transported more than 6 million passengers. In order to seek greater development, while actively promoting the purchase of new aircraft, improving airport facilities and other hardware construction, Vietnam Airlines also attaches great importance to promoting service diversification, expanding international cooperation space and improving software construction such as aviation catering and entertainment projects.
according to the increasing number of business travelers and tour groups, Vietnam Airlines' services are gradually diversified, including taking the initiative to sell routes, sending mileage points and flying to hotels for consumption. In today's increasingly fierce competition in the international aviation industry, Vietnam Airlines is paying more and more attention to expanding the space for international cooperation. In Asia alone, Vietnam Airlines has made contact and exchanges with airlines from China, Japan and ASEAN countries and regions, and plans to cooperate in a wider range. Among them, cooperation with China Southern Airlines on the route from Guangzhou to Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City has been gradually launched. In the aviation diet, Vietnam Airlines has also been constantly improving, not only providing Asian delicacies, but also often providing western-style aviation food. Many passengers who have taken Vietnam Airlines are full of praise for the rich and varied aviation food on board. On the newly introduced Boeing 777, passengers can also enjoy up to 55 channels of movies and entertainment programs according to their hobbies. Experts predict that Vietnam Airlines will be one of the fastest growing airlines in Southeast Asia and even Asia in the next 2111 years, considering the original foundation and development potential.
