Accompanying Vietjet, Vietnam's Sovico Group has always been a pioneer in aviation development in Vietnam and in the region by forging international collaborations that develop aviation facilities, bringing benefits to the industry in Vietnam as well as residents and tourists domestically and internationally.
Earlier , in August 2019 , Sovico Group - the major shareholder of Vietjet Air, had inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a comprehensive partnership with Linfox Airports, the owner of Avalon Airport in Australia.
Vietjet's comprehensive network is spread in Vietnam and Asia Pacific. The airline currently has resumed its entire domestic flight network and operated a series of international flights from and to Vietnam while looking to further expand operations across continents in the near future.
