Vietjet has been voted the “Favourite Low-Cost Carrier” and “Best Cabin Crew Uniform” at the 2026 Flyers’ Choice Awards organised by AirlineRatings, with the awards determined entirely by votes from travellers worldwide. The double win recognises Vietjet’s growing international appeal, from its distinctive brand and modern fleet to its affordable fares and increasingly diverse onboard experience.
For Australian travellers, the recognition comes as Vietjet continues to strengthen its presence in the Australian market, as it has recently announced service between Western Sydney and Ho Chi Minh City, connecting travellers with Vietnam and onward destinations across Asia. The airline’s growing network provides Australian travellers more choice for holidays, family visits and business, with convenient connections to destinations across Vietjet’s broader Vietnam domestic and international network.
Sharon Petersen, CEO of AirlineRatings said: “Winning in two categories marks an important tipping point for Vietjet. The airline is now firmly recognised on the global stage, with its uniform playing a key role in that recognition. Unique, fun and instantly recognisable, it leaves a lasting impression long after the flight. The Flyers’ Choice win for best cabin crew uniform reinforces this.”
Vietjet Red – A signature in the Sky
Vietjet’s distinctive cabin crew uniform has become an important part of the airline’s identity. Created by European designers, the uniform combines Vietjet’s signature red with youthful, contemporary styling inspired by youth cadet attire. Bow ties, garrison caps and plaid patterns create a look designed to stand apart from traditional airline uniforms. For travellers, Vietjet Red has become a recognisable symbol of the airline in airports and skies around the world – reflecting its youthful, energetic and forward-looking approach.
The Vietjet experience at 10,000 meters
The Vietjet experience extends beyond its distinctive look. Passengers can choose from a range of onboard offerings, including nine fresh hot meal options, Vikkafe beverages and duty-free shopping featuring gifts, travel essentials and other products. On Vietjet’s modern, new-generation aircraft, destination-inspired music, cultural and artistic performances and the warm service of its young cabin crew add to the experience throughout the journey.
For Australians travelling to Vietnam, the airline’s expanding network also provides opportunities to experience Vietnam’s diverse destinations from the energy of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to beaches, food, culture and heritage across the country.
Vietjet has continued to expand its international footprint from Vietnam, with Australia an increasingly important part of its Asia-Pacific network. The airline currently connects four Australian cities with Vietnam, offering direct services from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth to Ho Chi Minh City, providing travellers with more choice and supporting growing tourism, business, trade and cultural ties between Australia and Vietnam. Beyond direct connections, Vietjet’s broader network gives Australian travellers the opportunity to connect through Vietnam to destinations across Asia.
Vietjet has consistently maintained AirlineRatings’ highest seven-star safety rating and has been recognised among the world’s safest airlines for consecutive years. The airline has also received international recognition from organisations including CAPA, the World Travel Awards and Skytrax for its safety, service, customer experience and brand value.
The annual Flyers’ Choice Awards are the only AirlineRatings awards determined entirely by travellers, with around 40,000 verified votes cast in 2026. Vietjet’s wins in both the “Favourite Low-Cost Carrier” and “Best Cabin Crew Uniform” categories add another milestone to the airline’s international growth and growing recognition among travellers.
For Australians, the awards offer another reason to consider Vietjet when planning their next trip to Vietnam and beyond.
