New-age airline Vietjet has been named “Best Ultra Low-Cost Airline for 2020” by AirlineRatings.com, one of the world’s best one-stop airline safety and product rating review websites.

This is the third consecutive year that Vietjet has been honoured at AirlineRatings’ Airline Excellence Awards, which recognises the world’s best airlines annually.

This recognition honoured Vietjet's efforts to quickly grow its fleet and number of destinations, opening up travel to all, including those that perhaps could not afford air travel before.

“Vietjet has been very clever in its marketing but behind that fun is also a very smart and serious business plan that brings affordable travel to millions,” said Geoffrey Thomas, Editor-in-Chief of Airlineratings.com. “What a great operation and one that is turning heads,” he said. — VNS
