Vietjet has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to sustainable development and gender equality at the 2025 Women in Aviation International-Singapore Chapter (WAI-SG) Gala Dinner. The prestigious event was attended by Ms. Sun Xueling, Singapore’s Senior Minister of State for Transport and National Development, and more than 300 global aviation leaders and experts.
Ms. Ho Ngoc Yen Phuong, Member of the Board of Directors, Vice President, and Chief Financial Officer of Vietjet, highlighted the airline’s ongoing efforts to create equal opportunities for women across all areas of the aviation sector — not only in the cockpit, but also in technical, operational, and financial roles.
“We don’t just talk about gender equality — we live it. At Vietjet, we believe that empowering women is essential to achieving long-term, sustainable growth,” she emphasized.
Founded by Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Southeast Asia’s first self-made female billionaire, Vietjet stands as a symbol of women’s leadership and empowerment in aviation. According to the airline’s 2024 ESG Report, female employees make up nearly 40% of Vietjet’s total workforce, with 30% of leadership roles held by women — among the highest ratios in the region.
Under the theme “Pioneering the Sky’s Future,” WAI-SG celebrates initiatives that empower and connect the next generation of female leaders shaping a more inclusive, innovative, and sustainable aviation industry across Asia-Pacific.
