Vietjet reaffirmed its commitment to gender equality and sustainable development at the 2025 Women in Aviation International-Singapore Chapter (WAI-SG) Gala Dinner, attended by Singapore’s senior minister of state for transport and national development, Sun Xueling, and more than 300 aviation leaders and experts.
Held under the theme Pioneering the Sky’s Future, WAI-SG recognises initiatives that support the next generation of female leaders shaping a more inclusive and sustainable aviation industry in Asia-Pacific.
Ho Ngoc Yen Phuong, member of the Board of Directors, vice president and chief financial officer of Vietjet, highlighted the airline’s efforts to create equal opportunities for women across aviation, including 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 said.
Founded by Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, South-east Asia’s first self-made female billionaire, Vietjet reports that women make up nearly 40 per cent of its workforce, with 30 per cent in leadership roles, among the highest in the region.
