Vietjet has once again been recognised by AirlineRatings with two major accolades: the “World’s Best Ultra Low-Cost Carrier 2026” title and a place among the Top 10 “World’s Best Low-Cost Airlines 2026.” in its Airline Excellence Awards. The recognition comes as Vietjet continues to offer great deal tickets for Australian travellers across its services from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth to Vietnam.
Announcing Vietjet’s recognition, AirlineRatings experts highlighted Vietjet’s highly competitive fares, innovative approach, and products tailored to customer needs. The airline has maintained its title as the World’s Best Ultra Low-Cost Carrier since 2018 and has consistently ranked among the world’s leading low-cost airlines. 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.
The annual Airline Excellence Awards, focus on in-flight product and passenger experience, using measurable onboard criteria.
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 program 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.”
