The scope of analysis in this report is Vietnam Airlines in terms of the Vietnamese national market
Trang 4- After the Covid 19 pandemic, the demand for people to travel by plane increased sharply It can
be seen that the revenue figure of 2022 is more than the whole of 2020 plus 2021
+ In 2022, Vietnam Airlines is estimated to transport more than 18 million passengers, reaching 107.8% of the plan and 211.9 thousand tons of cargo, revenue reaching VND 72,359 billion, reaching 121% of the plan, of which the parent company will reach VND 50,617 billion, reaching 112% of the plan
- To be able to do this, Vietnam Airlines has focused on upgrading in depth to bring the best flying experience to passengers And in 2022, Vietnam Airlines was honored by the Ministry of Industry
and Trade and the National Trademark Council
+ Promoting its role as a national airline, Vietnam Airlines actively participates in activities contributing to regional economic and social development across the country, through incentive programs, tourism stimulus, investment, trade and tourism promotion cooperation with provinces and cities At the same time, social work, spreading human values is always
of special interest to the company, with notable activities in 2022 being the program to donate bonus miles, convert into air tickets and air services for domestic and foreign volunteer groups to move, perform duties
B COST

Current corporate income tax costs 212T | 256T | 301T
Deferred corporate income tax expenses | 5T 57T (23T)
- It can be seen that most types of costs of VNA are increasing This can also understand for them that after the pandemic to be able to compete with low-cost airlines, they have to step up marketing
+ Vietnam Airlines quickly changed its marketing strategy to match new market trends Transforming the proportion of flexible services, building a brand image that cares about the community, promoting digital transformation are some of the series of reforms in Vietnam Airlines’ successful marketing mix strategy
- In addition, although VNA has been invested in the best products, they continue to upgrade services to create the best experience on the route
- However, there is still 1 more factor causing the costs to increase, which is the increase in the price of jet fuel
+ The company has built a fuel price scenario in 2022 of 138-140 USD / barrel, 2 times higher than in 2021 But as of June 28, 2022, fuel prices have risen above $162 per barrel
- In addition to the intense Russia-Ukraine war, in a report to the Ministry of Transport on March
25, the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam said that the Russia- Ukraine war has negatively impacted, increasing the costs of Vietnamese airlines
+ The fighting has prompted many countries to ban airlines from operating air traffic routes over Russia Therefore, to reach Europe, Vietnamese airlines have to change their routes to

Uncontrolled after-tax profits of the public | (251T) (371T) 83T
- The positive recovery of Vietnam Airlines in 2022 can be seen through statistics from the financial statements, the profits are reduced, although there are still losses, this is an important milestone of VNA after the pandemic
- The main supporting factor for Vietnam Airlines in particular and Vietnam's aviation industry in general is the tourism opening policy starting from March 3/2022
+ Asa result of transporting in the first half of 2022, Vietnam Airlines Group reached nearly 9.5 million passengers, up 24.6% compared to the plan Vietnam Airlines’ cargo and parcel transportation reached 113 400 tons, up 18.3% over the same period, approximately reaching the set target Through flexible sale programs, consolidated revenue in 6 months reached VND 30,650 billion, exceeding 35.3% of the plan, the consolidated loss before tax was VND 1,309 billion lower than the plan
- However, profit growth has not been strong because international visitors are the main source of profit for all companies in the industry (airports, airline services, airlines) The resumption of international routes is estimated to be slow during the year, as key markets such as China, South Korea and Japan have yet to reopen to varying degrees

promotions 2022, Mid-night Sales — Up to 20% discount on Vietnam Airlines air tickets
- It also comes from preferential policies when buying Vietnam Airlines flight tickets + When you buy Vietnam Airlines tickets and become a Lotusmiles member, you will receive many good incentives such as: Accumulate miles that are usually converted to award tickets, increase baggage allowance, get seat upgrades, use of business class lounges, priority services such as (boarding gate, Choose a seat in advance, check in, give miles for your birthday ) and many other useful incentives
- VNA's financial performance is in a bad direction as the share price has continuously declined
at the beginning of 2022 The big reason comes from the fact that the aviation industry has not been able to restore the business situation after being heavily hit by the Covid epidemic and regulations on flight route restrictions when the Covis epidemic became stressful
+ From 2020 to now, Vietnam Airlines (HoSE: HVN) stock price has only fluctuated between 12,000 - 27,000 VND/share Even in the last months of 2022, the market price of this stock fell below the threshold of VND 13,000
- As a result, in September 2022, the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange sent a notice to Vietnam Airlines Corporation, noting the possibility of delisting Vietnam Airlines shares due to persistent business losses and negative equity
+ In2020 and 2021 both recorded losses Negative equity is nearly VND 4,900 billion Vietnam Airlines is also incurring short-term liabilities exceeding current assets in the amount of more than VND 36,425 billion, overdue liabilities amounting to more than VND 14,850 billion
- As aresult, VNA has not been delisted, although it is still trading at a loss, but because the stock
is under regulatory control attached to HOSE's decision dated March 31, 2022
+ HVN escaped delisting by selling Cambodia Angkor Air

very good, such as: "The humidity and pressure in the cabin are kept at the same level as the pressure at an altitude of 1.8km, while this index in other aircraft models is 2.4km Asa result, passengers will not feel tired during the flight.”

2016 This is a milestone showing the creativity in business to attract customers to Vietnam
Airlines
+ In 2016, Vietnam Airlines introduced an in-flight duty-free shopping service called Lotushop
to the market and received positive feedback from passengers In October 2018, Lotushop officially returned with 4-star quality when cooperating with the "tycoon" of brand distribution from Hong Kong King Power
=3 Starting from the name Vietnam Airlines abbreviated from "Vietnam national airline" shows the class With this name, the airline easily positioned the brand, attracting a number of customers to trust the national branded service despite the higher ticket prices than others

Trang 13The driving force for management in building Business-level strategies is the increasing demand from customers They are now demanding higher flight quality for a lower price Both low-cost airlines and Vietnam Airlines are trying their best to satisfy their customers It bridges the gap in price and service quality between them
Faced with that situation, Vietnam Airlines decided to apply a different strategy Through differentiation, they provide customers with products with differentiated features and values Firstly, they built a new avatar image as "golden lotus", making a strong impression and suitable for Asian psychology
Second, Vietnam Airlines also differentiates its products by enhancing convenient and safe flights For example, aircraft and infrastructure are modified to accommodate people with disabilities; human resources developed/trained (pilot staff, maintenance & overhaul); The fleet
is also enhanced in quantity and quality
Moreover, they also perform differently in ionic strategy by achieving unmatched network compared to domestic competitors They will expand their network from 26 international destinations and 20 domestic destinations (2010) to 44 and 23 destinations (2020) respectively When a company differentiates its products, it can often charge high prices for its products or
services in the market
Applying a differentiation strategy, Vietnam Airlines focuses on providing unique and high- quality products and services at high prices Vietnam Airlines makes customers believe that higher prices are justified and they are provided with more valuable services (tangible as well as intangible) Airlines emphasize Vietnam cuisine as a feature of VNA flights, newly designed tableware, as well as providing pajamas, blankets, bed linen to bring comfort and luxury experience most important on long journeys
Most importantly, to become the leading digital airline, VNA has worked hard on applying modem technologies Skywise, Oracle cloud and new mobile versions of the application have
more advanced features
Most of the tasks in Vietnam Airlines’ differentiation strategy are achieved through the advantages of a state-owned company with 75% government backing, such as huge capital, political and grassroots support basic infrastructure available

Research product attributes
- Since 2015, Vietnam Airlines has oriented to invest in converting from 3-star to 4-star airline rating, focusing on major upgrades in 2 service classes, mainly Business Class (C class) and Premium Economy Class (Delux) One of the basic criteria for an airline to have a 4-star rating
is that the aircraft must have absolutely flat seats Since July 2015, Vietnam Airlines has officially put into operation two new generation aircraft Boeing 787-9 and Airbus 350-900 If you are a regular customer of Vietnam Airlines, the airline has data to know where you like to sit, what food you eat, what kind of newspaper you read, what kind of movies or music you like to watch Even on that trip, you only use Economy Class Before you board, there is enough of this data
Trang 15condition, but with the service profession, suppliers increasingly have to pay attention to very small details to bring satisfaction to passengers” - leaders of Vietnam Airlines shared
As a 4star airline, Vietnam Airlines also offers special services for young passengers in addition
to continuing the preferential price policy equal to 70% of the regular price for children under
12 years old or meals exclusively for children Traveling with children, please ask the cabin crew
to provide them with a catalog of 6 different sets of toys according to age and gender Food service is comprehensively invested, from tableware, glasses, cups, wine cabinets in C class to a diverse menu with high quality healthy foods The airline also cooperates with top chefs from high-end hotels to design, unique dishes and beverages to give passengers exquisite experiences of Vietnamese and world culinary culture
No matter what class you sit in, you can enjoy the AVOD on-demand entertainment system (watch live TV, movies, music, games ) on the large LCD liquid crystal screen and ancillary applications in the seat Economy Class has not been upgraded much because when it was still
at 3 stars, Vietnam Airlines’ economy class service was rated to a better standard than 4 stars The 4-star airline is rated to provide products of good standards on all types of travel combined with the standards of onboard and airport staff One of the important factors in VNA's service sector is to equip professional service skills at all customer contact points, from a team of 18 members Even ground staff such as ticket offices and frontline departments must undergo basic
to advanced customer service training Customer service training syllabus covers every detail about dress code, how to greet, how to smile, how to communicate, eye contact and language, and difficult situations to handle Customer service skills training will equip employees to always
be courteous, courteous, enthusiastic, attentive and ready to serve
Among the pre-flight services that an airline provides, the lounge service for priority guests is the most enjoyable and engaging experience Lounge service is not only a quiet space to wait for departure time, to enjoy high-class drinks, typical dishes of each region but also a way to access the culture and quintessence of each destination in the passenger's journey Since upgrading the 4star service, the number of passengers using Vietnam Airlines’ C and Deluxe services has increased dramatically In key routes to the UK and France, the coefficient of using C and Delux seats reaches 70-80%
