Vietnam Airlines has worked out a plan to invest in developing air-crew and increasing the number of planes to maintain its annual growth rate of 12-14 percent.

To this end, Vietnam Airlines will strengthen online ticket selling networks, complete e-trading network and comprehensively develop centres, which provide trade and technological maintenance services and high technological human resources. Despite fierce competition from foreign airlines in 2006, Vietnam Airlines achieved a turnover of more than VND17,500 billion, up 12.5 percent compared to last year.

This year, Vietnam Airlines has carried nearly 6.8 million passengers, including 3.5 million visitors. This is the tenth consecutive year Vietnam Airlines has provided safe flights.
