Vietnam Airlines has been recognized for its commitment to safety, earning a place in the AirlineRatings' World's Safest Airlines for 2025 Awards. The airline has consistently achieved the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification, which is internationally acknowledged as a benchmark for operational safety. This continuous re-certification underscores Vietnam Airlines' dedication to maintaining high safety standards, enhancing passenger trust and boosting its global reputation.
In 2023, Vietnam Airlines hosted the IATA World Safety and Operations Conference, a notable event that attracted significant figures from the aviation sector. This selection by IATA reflects Vietnam Airlines' exemplary safety record and highlights its role in promoting global safety initiatives.
Sharon Petersen, CEO of AirlineRatings, remarked on Vietnam Airlines' impressive safety history: "Vietnam Airlines have not had a fatal accident in 27 years nor have they had any serious incidents. The airline operates a fleet of 100 modern aircraft with an average age under 10 years and the company has passed its IOSA certification without fail since 2006. In addition to this the country of Vietnam has also made huge strides in aviation safety with better airports, navigation system upgrades and far more stringent protocols. All of this combined secures them a spot in our top 25."
