MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Vietjet has once again been recognised by AirlineRatings, the world’s leading airline safety and product rating website, as one of the world’s safest airlines for 2026. The airline has also consistently maintained a 7/7 safety rating from AirlineRatings since 2018.
Over many consecutive years, Vietjet has remained in the top tier of safety rankings alongside the world’s leading low-cost carriers, underscoring its strong commitment and consistent performance in providing safe, reliable journeys for passengers.
In the Philippines, where Vietjet recently launched direct flights between Manila and Ho Chi Minh City, AirlineRatings’ independent safety rankings serve as an important benchmark for Filipino travellers evaluating international airlines. Vietjet’s recognition as one of the world’s safest airlines strengthens traveller confidence as the carrier expands its presence in the Philippine market with daily flights to Ho Chi Minh City and a growing network of domestic routes within Vietnam and across the Asia-Pacific region.
Sharon Petersen, CEO of AirlineRatings.com, said: “Vietjet Air has delivered steady growth while maintaining fleet continuity and a high level of operational reliability. Combined with a young fleet averaging and a flawless safety record across its 20 years of operation, this underlines a strong, safety-focused operation. Vietnam’s aviation sector is also now delivering its best results to date in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) audits for safe, secure, and efficient international air transport.”
AirlineRatings assesses more than 320 airlines worldwide using a rigorous set of criteria, including incident data, fleet age, pilot training, international safety audits, and—this year with added weight—turbulence prevention and other key industry indicators.
Vietjet operates a modern, fuel-efficient fleet with a technical reliability rate of 99.72%, placing it among the region’s top performers. The airline holds IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) and ISAGO certifications, underscoring its strong safety culture in both flight and ground operations. Vietjet is an active participant in IATA safety enhancement programs and continues to invest long-term in training, maintenance, and engineering to maintain the highest safety standards in regional and global aviation.
Vietjet has added 22 aircraft in just one month, marking the largest fleet expansion in the airline’s history and further strengthening its modern, fuel-efficient fleet while enhancing operational efficiency.

By evaluating airlines on criteria such as flight safety, passenger services, and regulatory compliance, it offers valuable guidance to millions of travelers worldwide when choosing airlines. Today, the platform is recognized as one of the most trusted benchmarks in the global aviation industry.
