Vietjet Launches Ground Handling Operations at Noi Bai Int. Airport in Hanoi

Vietjet has become the first private airline to set up its own ground handling business in Vietnam.

The move will give the airline more control over its operating costs and give it flexibility to adjust its flight schedule to meet seasonal flight operations, especially in peak season.

“The launch of Vietjet ground services in Hanoi today is one of Vietjet’s milestones of strategic development to optimize our cost-reducing opportunities while enhancing ground handling service quality and create more sources of revenue,” said Vietjet Vice President Nguyen Thanh Son.

Vietjet is currently one of largest airlines in Vietnam and currently operates over 30 domestic and international routes from and to the airport, serving thousands of passengers daily.

By setting up its own ground handling services amidst an impacted aviation industry, Vietjet has proved to be an airline of great administration capabilities as it constantly comes up with new initiatives to respond to the changing and challenging business environment.

Vietjet is one of the fastest growing airlines in the region, and its consolidated after-tax profit reached VND47 billion (approx. US$2 million) in the first six months of 2020.

“Vietjet has proactively sought for extra business opportunities in addition to the self-handling ground services, for example boosting the cargo transport services since April 2020 and operating thousands of cargo flights delivering essential goods and medical equipment,” Son added.
