Vietjet has become one of the leading companies in the HCM Stock Exchange. Its shares (code: VJC) were selected for the VN30 on the first listing year in 2017.
Vietjet’s financial and corporate governance abilities are proved by its good business performance.
In the first half of 2019, Vietjet operated 68,821 flights, equivalent to 45 per cent of total flights operated by domestic airlines, transporting 13.5 million passengers.
During the period, the carrier's air transport revenue reached more than VND20.18 trillion, an increase of 22 per cent, and pre-tax profit hit VND1.55 trillion, an increase of 15 per cent year on year. — VNS
