Vietjet recognised among the world’s best low-cost airlines with two international awards in 2026

Ho Chi Minh City, March 19, 2026 – Vietjet has once again been recognised by AirlineRatings with two major accolades: the “World’s Best Ultra Low-Cost Carrier 2026” title and a place among the Top 10 “World’s Best Low-Cost Airlines 2026.” These awards form part of the Airline Excellence Awards, presented annually by AirlineRatings since 2013 to recognise outstanding airlines globally. 

The awards focus on in-flight product and passenger experience, using measurable onboard criteria. AirlineRatings experts highlighted Vietjet’s highly competitive fares, innovative approach, and products tailored to customer needs. The airline has maintained its title as the World’s Best Ultra Low-Cost Carrier since 2018 and has consistently ranked among the world’s leading low-cost airlines. This reflects a long-term strategy focused on delivering value, enhancing the travel experience, and expanding access to air travel for millions of passengers each year.

Sharon Petersen, CEO of AirlineRatings.com, said: “Combining highly competitive fares with a rapidly expanding network and a modern fleet, Vietjet has again won the World’s Best Ultra Low Cost Carrier award. The airline is widely recognised for its popular Zero Dollar fare promotions, helping make air travel accessible to millions while stimulating demand across the region. Initiatives such as the SkyJoy loyalty programme further enhance the passenger experience. As the airline pursues ambitious expansion, including plans to launch services to Europe, Vietjet is emerging as an increasingly influential player in the global ULCC market.”

Vietjet operates a modern, fuel-efficient fleet and continues to expand its international network, offering year-round promotions across destinations in Vietnam, Australia, India, Japan, South Korea, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Kazakhstan, and beyond. The airline delivers a convenient and accessible travel experience, supported by professional crews, diverse service offerings, and innovative products such as Business and SkyBoss fares, along with a wide range of Vietnamese and international cuisine.

Over the years, Vietjet has received numerous recognitions from AirlineRatings and other international organisations, including a 7/7-star safety rating—the highest global ranking—and repeated inclusion among the world’s safest airlines. The airline has also been honoured by CAPA as “Asia Pacific Low Cost Airline of the Year”, recognised by World Travel Awards as “Asia’s Leading Airline for Customer Experience”, and ranked among ASEAN’s most valuable airline brands, alongside awards from Skytrax, World Business Outlook, and leading markets such as South Korea and India.
