The event is part of Vietjet's 2026 flight attendant recruitment series. Candidates applying for the position undergo evaluation rounds assessing their appearance, communication skills, foreign language proficiency, and other required criteria.

Among the international candidates was Thanyaporn Sanggawe from Thailand. Currently a safety specialist at an engineering firm in Bangkok, she has a stable job and income but has long aspired to be a flight attendant.

Thanyaporn considered postponing this ambition to continue her current work. However, learning of Vietjet's flight attendant recruitment day in TP HCM, she decided to fly from Bangkok to Vietnam to apply.

"I once thought I would put my flying dream aside for a safer path, but I knew I would regret it if I didn't try", Thanyaporn shared. "I want to start living for myself."

This marked her first application for a flight attendant position. Leveraging her English proficiency and current work experience, Thanyaporn expressed her desire to compete with hundreds of other candidates for an opportunity in a new field.

"I hope luck will favor me, allowing me to begin a new life in Vietnam with my dream job at Vietjet", she said.

Another candidate, Vo Minh Phuc, born in 2003, recently graduated from university. Recognizing his major did not align with his personal goals, Phuc decided to pursue a flight attendant career.

His decision is also tied to his older sister's story; she once aspired to the profession but had to abandon it due to not meeting height requirements. Consequently, Phuc received his sister's full support when applying for Vietjet's recruitment day.

According to Phuc, the flight attendant profession demands foreign language proficiency, communication skills, physical fitness, and adaptability. These are the competencies he aims to develop by entering this new field.

"Entering this event, I am not only competing for myself. I feel I am also fulfilling my sister's dream", Phuc shared.

Nguyen Thanh Son, Vietjet General Director, stated that the recruitment drive aims to bolster flight attendant staff as the airline expands its operations and international network. Successful candidates will work in a multinational, multicultural environment. The company seeks to foster an equitable workplace, enabling staff to learn and advance their careers.

A key policy for the 2026 recruitment is Vietjet's offer to cover 50% of training tuition fees for successful candidates. Trainees will receive instruction at the Vietjet Victoria Aviation Academy and its international partners. The comprehensive training system includes: simulation cockpits, aircraft and passenger cabin models, functional training rooms, and a wave pool, alongside other facilities for aviation personnel development.

The airline provides over 60 welfare policies for employees, including: flight tickets for staff and their families, healthcare, and health insurance for pilots and flight attendants on international assignments.

Following the TP HCM event, Vietjet's 2026 Flight Attendant Recruitment Day series is scheduled to continue in Hanoi on 3/10.
