OperatingVietnam

Viet Flight Training, known in Vietnamese as Bay Viet, is Vietnam's first civil pilot training organisation approved by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV). Based in Ho Chi Minh City, it is a subsidiary of Vietnam Airlines and trains commercial airline pilots.

Established in 2008 as a subsidiary of Vietnam Airlines, Viet Flight Training was the first CAAV-approved civil pilot training organisation in Vietnam. It delivers a structured ab-initio to commercial pilot training roadmap, conducting ground and theory training in Ho Chi Minh City while sending students for practical flight training to partner flight schools in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Europe rather than operating a large domestic fleet. Graduates are positioned to fly for Vietnam Airlines. It plays a central role in developing Vietnam's national airline pilot pipeline.
