The national carrier earned a total of more than VND777 trillion (US$34 billion) in revenue in the past 22 years, with average growth of 15.62% per year.
It earned pre-tax profit of nearly VND18 trillion (US$792 million) in the 22-year period and contributed VND41 trillion (US$1.8 billion) to the State budget.
At the event, Vietnam Airlines also officially launched “Flights of Love” – an activity for the good of the community to support projects aimed at better living. Owners of “Flights of Love” cards would be provided free tickets on all flights to implement their projects.
The first three projects of “Flights of Love” were Flood Housing Relief, Heart Foundation and Operation Smile.
Thanh said social responsibility was important in the development strategy of Vietnam Airlines, and hoped that “Flights of Love” will contribute to building a sustainable development community.
