The new-age airline Vietjet has been named by Forbes Magazine as one of the 40 most valuable brands in Viet Nam in 2018.

Forbes based the list on public transparent financial data.

In the past six months of 2018, Vietjet continued to lead domestic passenger travel and had the best flight growth of 59,944 flights, up nearly 22 per cent year-on-year.

Vietjet is participating at the third “Vietnamese Goods and Tourism Week in Thailand in 2018” being held in Bangkok until Sunday.
