About Vietnam Airlines
Beginning with a fleet of only 5 aircraft in 1956, Vietnam Airlines has been through some dramatic changes to become what it is today. Originally known as Vietnam Civil Aviation, the Airline began flying as an independent airline soon after nationalizing Gia Lam Airport. In 1993, the Airline underwent our final change in name to become Vietnam Airlines. In 1995 Vietnam Airlines Corporation was formed by Vietnam’s Prime Minister. Currently Vietnam Airlines operate and codeshared co-operate to 38 destinations around the world, in Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. Domestically we fly to 18 destinations.[1]
In 2006, approximately 6.8 million people choose to travel aboard Vietnam Airlines. That figure includes over 3.1 million passengers on international flights, and 3.7 million on domestic flights, more than one billion USD revenue. In the same year, we also carry an impressive 106 thousand tons of cargo.[2]
To make flying Vietnam Airlines even more convenient for passengers, we have entered into partnerships with other international airlines around the world, signing co-operative agreements on such matters as joint service, revenue pooling, code-sharing and special prorate agreement.[3]
