The full flight simulator centre will address Vietjet's training, development and technology requirements, as the airline company expands its operations in Thailand and other major regional markets.

Vietjet has achieved full membership from the International Air Transportation Association (IATA), thereby reinforcing the airline’s position in the aviation community across Asia-Pacific and the wider Asia / international region.
