Vietjet operated two special relief flights, VJ2875 and VJ2877, using Airbus A330 and A321 aircraft, to transport Vietnamese rescue teams to Myanmar following a devastating earthquake. The airline facilitated the rapid deployment of relief personnel from the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense. The flights departed from Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport to Yangon on March 30, 2025.
To ensure the swift deployment of these flights, Vietjet expedited flight permits and technical preparations. The airline also assigned experienced crew and staff to assist the relief mission, demonstrating its commitment to humanitarian aid.
The flights transported 106 rescue and relief personnel from the Vietnamese armed forces, as well as trained search-and-rescue dogs and over 60 tons of essential aid supplies. These supplies included medical equipment and food to support earthquake relief efforts in Myanmar.
Vietjet CEO Dinh Viet Phuong stated, “Vietjet is always ready for special missions. We swiftly completed all necessary preparations and successfully operated two flights to transport emergency rescue teams from the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense to Myanmar, providing timely support for earthquake relief efforts.”
Upon arrival at Yangon Airport, Myanmar, rescue personnel from the Vietnamese armed forces, along with Vietjet staff, immediately began unloading and transporting essential supplies to designated relief sites. Police and military officers also participated in search-and-rescue operations, provided medical assistance, and supported recovery efforts.
A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025, causing widespread devastation. The disaster resulted in significant casualties and damage to infrastructure.
Vietjet has a history of participating in humanitarian missions, including transporting aid and rescue teams for the 2018 Indonesia earthquake and tsunami, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013, and various COVID-19 pandemic response efforts. The airline emphasizes its commitment to community support and charitable initiatives as a core part of its mission.
