According to its audited consolidated financial statements released on March 31, the airline operated more than 156,000 flights in 2025, carrying over 25.6 million passengers and more than 340,000 tonnes of cargo. These figures rose by about 11 per cent year on year and exceeded targets.
Consolidated revenue reached VND 121.412 trillion (USD 4.86 billion), while post-tax profit totalled VND 7.607 trillion (USD 304 million). The parent company alone reported revenue of VND 96.569 trillion (USD 3.86 billion) and post-tax profit of more than VND 5.427 trillion (USD 217 million).
The results were supported by the recovery of the aviation market, particularly international demand, alongside expanded route networks. The airline also tightened operational discipline, optimised flight frequencies, controlled costs and improved cash flow efficiency.
The carrier described 2025 as a phase of redefining service experience, aiming to achieve five-star airline standards before 2030. During the year, it introduced new technology and services, including in-flight internet, biometric check-in via VNeID and synchronised services at Tan Son Nhat Airport’s Terminal 3.
In ground services, Vietnam Airlines introduced a check-in lounge model for the first time, launched its signature fragrance “Nha” to enhance brand identity, and opened new Lotus lounges in Phu Quoc, Nha Trang and Danang.
These improvements helped the airline secure 30 domestic and international awards in 2025, including three commendations from the Prime Minister recognising its recovery efforts and service quality enhancements.
Looking ahead to 2026, the aviation sector continues to face volatility, particularly from rising fuel costs linked to tensions in the Middle East. However, first-quarter data indicate sustained market growth.
In the first three months, international passenger traffic reached around 13.5 million, up 16 per cent year on year, while the domestic market saw nearly 10 million passengers, an increase of nearly 10 per cent.
During the same period, Vietnam Airlines operated nearly 43,000 flights, up 11 per cent, and carried about 6.9 million passengers, an increase of nearly 12 per cent compared with a year earlier.
In response to fuel cost pressures, the airline said it had developed flexible operational scenarios from the second quarter of 2026. The focus will be on optimising both domestic and international trunk routes, tightening cost control and improving fleet utilisation efficiency.
Vietnam Airlines will continue its role as the national carrier in supporting trade connectivity, tourism and economic integration. The company targets double-digit growth in 2026 while maintaining operational stability amid ongoing market uncertainties.
The airline said it will closely monitor geopolitical and market developments to adjust its plans accordingly, prioritising flight safety, network stability, cost control and operational efficiency.
