Vietjet Air continues to be recognized by AirlineRatings, a reputable international aviation safety and service assessment organization, as one of the world’s safest airlines in 2026, alongside other leading low-cost carriers such as EasyJet, Southwest and Ryanair.
The airline has consistently maintained AirlineRatings’ highest safety rating of seven out of seven stars since 2018, underscoring its sustained efforts to ensure safe and reliable journeys for passengers.
Sharon Peterson, CEO of AirlineRatings.com, said that Vietjet Air has maintained steady growth while ensuring fleet consistency and high operational reliability. With a young fleet and a flawless safety record over 20 years of operations, Vietjet clearly demonstrates an operating model that places safety at its core. Vietnam’s aviation sector is also achieving its best-ever results in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) assessments of safety, security and the efficiency of international air transport, he stated.
AirlineRatings evaluates 320 airlines worldwide based on a stringent set of criteria, including incident records, fleet age, pilot training standards and data from international safety audits. This year, the organization placed greater emphasis on turbulence avoidance and a range of other specialized technical criteria.
Recently, Vietjet added 22 new aircraft to further expand its new, modern and fuel-efficient fleet, thereby improving operational efficiency.
AirlineRatings is an independent organization specializing in the assessment of safety and quality across global airlines, based on multiple criteria including flight safety, passenger service and compliance with aviation principles and regulations.
Hong Kong budget carrier HK Express was named the world’s safest low-cost airline, followed by Jetstar Australia.
