VietJet Aviation Joint Stock Company is an international lowcost airline from Vietnam.It is a Low Cost Carrier (LCC) It was the first privately owned newage airline to beestablished in Vietnam, being granted its initial approval to operate by the VietnameseMinister of Finance in November 2007. Despite its rapid growth and wide appeal, Vietjet Air still encountered a lot of problems.The first problem is safety. Some accidents do happen. There has always been greatcooperation among all the industry’s stakeholders in efforts to make flying ever safer. Wewill honor the memories of those involved by redoubling our efforts on safety. Thesecond one is the passenger experience. Most of the flights are delayed but not cancelledor occurring serious problems so customers do not receive any pension except for theannouncement of the new takeoff time. The final one is the environment. Any business isexpected to be sustainable. But it is particularly challenging for airlines that burn fuel topropel their aircraft. Nonetheless, the industry (not just airlines but the whole valuechain) has committed to some very ambitious goals. There are some alternative solutions to solve these problems. Firstly, we are calling ongovernments to look even more broadly and develop an international protocol to managethe design, manufacture and deployment of weapons with antiaircraft capability. Wehave the safety tool to predict and reduce the risks by governments, airports and airnavigation service providers have data. Secondly, Vietjet Air can find a framework onwhich to share the crucial data among all those involved in the passenger’s travel. Asmarter approach to security that is informed by what we know about the traveler. Finally,Vietjet Air is working on worldwide so that airlines can land in a continuous descent andis asking governments for a global mandatory carbon offset scheme. Finally, these are some recommendations that our group gives to Airbnb. Firstly, weshould lower the total amount of delayed flights in the short period of time, and also limitthe times one flight has been delayed to be not continuously. Besides, we can activelyoffer compensation for customers when problems occur and build customer database interm of regular consumers and frequent consumers in order to providing prioritycustomer care.
