In 2017 Vietnam Airlines was awarded with ‘World’s Leading Cultural Airline’, and ‘World’s Leading Airline - Premium Economy Class’ by the World Travel Awards. 

The World Travel Awards have become an international platform for recognising industry excellence, running for 24 years. The awards were established to acknowledge, reward, and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries.

In addition to being presented with the World Travel Awards, Vietnam Airlines was also certified as a 4-Star Airline out of 5 by Skytrax - the world’s leading airline and airport rating organization - for the second year in a row.

Vietnam Airlines was also awarded ‘Asia Pacific Airline of the year’ at the 2017 CAPA Asia Pacific Aviation and Corporate Travel Summit. This award is given to the airline that has stood out strategically in the Asia Pacific region.
