Vietnam Airlines Recruitment
Direct Personnel has a well established relationship with Vietnam Airlines. After detailed negotiations in Ho Chi Minh City and Dublin, a contract was first signed between the two companies in April 2009 for the provision of qualified and experienced contract flight crews. Our aim as always, is to offer a complete and thorough service to all contract pilots we place, a service unmatched in the industry.
Vietnam Airlines
Vietnam Airlines (Vietnamese: Tổng Công ty Hàng không Việt Nam) is the national flag carrier of Vietnam, and was established as a state enterprise in April 1989.
Vietnam Airlines Corporation was subsequently formed in 1993, after bringing together several service companies. The company is overseen by a seven-seat management board, members of which are appointed by the Prime Minister. Vietnam Airlines used to be the major stakeholder in Vietnam's second carrier, Pacific Airlines, but its share has recently been transferred to the Ministry of Finance.
In the coming years, along with the strong development of Vietnam tourism, Vietnam Airlines hopes to expand its services further to the United Kingdom and United States of America.
Vietnam Airlines was invited to join the Sky team alliance in June of 2010
