Vietnam’s aviation industry witnessed a transformational journey under the visionary leadership of billionaire Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, the driving force behind Vietjet Air. Through her relentless pursuit of accessibility and innovation, Thao reshaped Vietjet from a luxury-oriented airline to a symbol of connectivity for millions of Vietnamese.
Vietjet’s inception was marked by a poignant question from a mother in a remote mountainous region, igniting Thao’s determination to make air travel accessible to all. With this vision, Vietjet expanded its flight network, making flying a reality for millions of Vietnamese. Through constant innovation and efficiency management, Vietjet revolutionized the aviation industry, leading the shift to e-tickets and online payments.
The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges, but Vietjet showcased resilience by pivoting to freight transport and facilitating essential flights for pandemic relief efforts. Emerging stronger, Vietjet expanded its international routes and markets, solidifying its position as a leading airline in the region.
Thao’s leadership extends beyond aviation, emphasizing gender equality and empowerment within Vietjet’s corporate culture. Vietjet has provided opportunities for women to excel in various roles, from pilots to technicians, contributing to Vietnam’s economic growth and innovation.
Thao’s entrepreneurial journey embodies a commitment to excellence and community enrichment. Beyond aviation, her ventures in technology, education, and healthcare have propelled Vietnam’s economic development. She envisions a vibrant stock market and continues to advocate for technological solutions to enhance financial sectors.
Thao’s philanthropic endeavors reflect her compassionate spirit, providing relief during crises and spreading joy during festive seasons. From free flights for medical personnel to charity initiatives for impoverished communities, Thao’s kindness has touched countless lives across Vietnam.
