“As Vietnam’s first female self-made billionaire, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao is used to doing things differently”, said Business Insider.

She launched the low-cost carrier Vietjet Air in 2011 and has built up step by step the airline as a leading carrier in the region.

“Vietjet has helped spark a demand for air travel in Vietnam, where flying has traditionally been seen as something only for the rich. The airline now serves 17 cities and towns in Vietnam, as well as 23 international destinations, primarily in Southeast Asia and southern China”.

At the beginning of this year, company shares had doubled in value since its 2017 listing on the Ho Chi Minh exchange. And while the pandemic has been a blow to the aviation industry, VietJet’s financials have so far been resilient", Business Insider added.

The airline, in fact, last month posted a profit of 47 billion VND (approx. 2 million USD) for the first half of 2020.

In a previous interview with Forbes, Thao said that her long-term goal was to turn Vietjet into Vietnam’s first truly global airline, expanding beyond Asia to Europe and North America.

As one of a few female leaders in the global aviation industry, Thao has been honored with numerous awards and accolades since the airline’s first flight took off in 2011, Vietnam Investment Review reported. In November 2019, she was named the APAC CEO of the Year at the 2019 Aviation 100 Awards held in Hong Kong which recognizes the year’s most outstanding performers in the world’s aerospace industry.
