Vietjet has once again been recognised on the global stage, securing two major accolades at the prestigious Airline Excellence Awards 2026 by AirlineRatings. The airline was named the “World’s Best Ultra Low-Cost Carrier 2026” and also ranked among the Top 10 “World’s Best Low-Cost Airlines 2026.”
With its highly competitive fares, innovative approach, and products tailored to customer needs, Vietjet has maintained its title as the World’s Best Ultra Low-Cost Carrier since 2018 and has consistently ranked among the world’s best budget carriers. This reflects a long-term strategy focused on delivering value, enhancing the travel experience, and expanding access to air travel for millions of passengers each year.
This latest recognition underscores Vietjet’s continued appeal among Malaysians seeking affordable yet comfortable travel options to Vietnam and across Asia-Pacific. The airline currently operates daily flights from Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang, offering Malaysian travellers convenient access for both leisure and business travel.
Sharon Petersen, CEO of AirlineRatings.com, said: “Combining highly competitive fares with a rapidly expanding network and a modern fleet, Vietjet has again won the World’s Best Ultra Low Cost Carrier award. The airline is widely recognised for its popular Zero Dollar fare promotions, helping make air travel accessible to millions while stimulating demand across the region. Initiatives such as the SkyJoy loyalty programme further enhance the passenger experience. As the airline pursues ambitious expansion, including plans to launch services to Europe, Vietjet is emerging as an increasingly influential player in the global ULCC market.”
Vietjet operates a modern, fuel-efficient fleet and continues to expand its international network, offering year-round promotions that appeal to both leisure and business travellers. Passengers can also choose from a range of fare options, including Business and SkyBoss, alongside a curated selection of Vietnamese and international cuisine onboard.
Beyond affordability, Vietjet has also built a strong track record in safety and service excellence. The airline has consistently received a 7/7-star safety rating—the highest global ranking—from AirlineRatings, and has been repeatedly recognised among the world’s safest airlines. The airline has also been honoured by CAPA as “Asia Pacific Low Cost Airline of the Year”, recognised by World Travel Awards as “Asia’s Leading Airline for Customer Experience”, and ranked among ASEAN’s most valuable airline brands, alongside awards from Skytrax, and World Business Outlook.
