Hanoi (VNA)ꦡ - Vietnam Airlines is the only representative of Vietnam to be ranked in the Top 25 Safest Full-Service Airlines in the World for 2025 by Airline Ratings, a leading and reputable organisation in airline safety assessment.
The national carrier was ranked at the 22nd place in the list which was led by Air New Zealand, and Qantas.
The ranking is based on several criteria, including serious incidents over the past two years, fleet age, fleet size, rate of incidents, fatalities, profitability, and pilot skill and training.
Airline Ratings CEO Sharon Petersen said: Vietnam Airlines have not had a fatal accident in 27 years nor have they had any serious incidents. The airline operates a fleet of 100 modern aircraft with an average age under 10 years and the company has passed its IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) certification without fail since 2006. In addition to this, the country of Vietnam has also made huge strides in aviation safety with better airports, navigation system upgrades and far more stringent protocols. All of this combined secures them a spot in our top 25.
Vietnam Airlines further demonstrated its commitment to aviation safety by hosting a high-profile airline symposium led by Professor Taneja, a prominent figure in the industry. This event provided a platform for knowledge sharing and innovation, showcasing the carrier’s role as a thought leader in aviation safety. By facilitating discussions on best practices and cutting-edge safety measures, it reinforced its reputation as a driver of progress within the aviation community.
In 2023, Vietnam Airlines had the distinct honour of hosting the International Air Transport Association (IATA) World Safety and Operations Conference. This prestigious event, attended by key players in the aviation industry, highlighted its credibility and leadership in the realm of aviation safety.
