Vietjet's hybrid transformation earns first-ever Best Hybrid Airline title

(Vietjet, Seoul, July 30, 2026) – Vietjet has achieved its first-ever Best Hybrid Airline accolade at the Korea Consumer Awards 2026 (KCA), recognizing a significant milestone in the airline's successful transformation to a hybrid carrier.

The airline also received the Best Inflight Food Experience and Service Excellence Award, marking its second consecutive year of recognition at the annual awards and reaffirming its commitment to service excellence.

The Korea Consumer Awards honor brands trusted in South Korea, based on consumer surveys measuring four key brand metrics, combined with evaluations by a panel of expert judges. Vietjet is the only foreign airline to receive awards for the second consecutive year and was named among the 39 most trusted consumer brands in South Korea in 2026. The awards celebrate Vietjet's continued commitment to offering South Korean travelers greater convenience, flexibility, and value through its expanding international network, modern fleet, and customer-focused services.

Since launching services to South Korea in 2014, Vietjet has carried more than 15 million passengers between the two countries, becoming one of the largest airlines connecting South Korea and Vietnam. The airline currently operates 11 direct routes linking Seoul (Incheon) and Busan with Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, and Hai Phong, supporting tourism, trade, investment, and cultural exchange between the two nations. From October this year, travelers will also enjoy expanded connectivity to Europe through Vietjet's growing international network.

As a hybrid airline, Vietjet combines affordable fares with enhanced services, offering passengers flexible travel options across Eco, Deluxe, SkyBoss, and Business fare classes to suit different travel needs.

Beyond transportation, every Vietjet flight offers a memorable travel experience. Passengers can enjoy a diverse menu of hot meals featuring both Vietnamese and international favourites, including Pho, Banh mi, and Vietnamese iced milk coffee, bringing the flavours of Vietnam onboard from the very beginning of their journey. Together with a modern, fuel-efficient fleet, professional and dedicated cabin crew, and unique cultural and artistic performances on selected special flights at 35,000 feet, Vietjet continues to deliver inspiring and enjoyable travel experiences.

Innovation and sustainability remain at the core of Vietjet's long-term growth strategy. The airline continues investing in digital transformation and sustainable development initiatives to enhance the customer experience while contributing to the aviation industry's broader sustainability goals.

Organized by one of South Korea's leading newspapers, DongA Ilbo, the Korea Consumer Awards has consistently recognized Vietjet’s excellence. Prior to this year’s achievements, the airline was named “Selected Airline” in 2025 and received both the “Korea Consumer Satisfaction Brand Award” and the “Korea Consumer Best Brand Award” in 2023.
