What I enjoy most about my Vietnam Airlines' career...
"All the staff are friendly, even the CEO,
I'm treated like part of the family.
Flying is based on straight Airbus SOPs and flight training manuals are in English,
so there is no risk of mistranslations. Schedules offer 10h duty days or less, the first officers are good to fly with,
Vietnam Airlines crew are well-trained, and the mechanics have fantastic standards. It's a wonderful place to work."

What our pilots say about us |

"I've been in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam since the fall of 2004, and I've loved every minute of it - my wife loves living here, too! I appreciated the assistance given to me by Rishworth Aviation. From the initial screening details to getting settled in, Rishworth and their senior pilot here in Vietnam were there to help me. I chose Rishworth because of the number of Asia contracts they have available. And, the contracts they offer are competitive. One of the major differences between a Rishworth contract and others is the medical/dental/disability insurance package. Simply, it's quite good. Flying for Vietnam Airlines has been fun and enjoyable. It's fun flying, quite different from what I'm used to in the U.S. The Vietnamese culture permeates throughout the airline. I'm always treated kindly, with courtesy, and respect. I can recommend the Rishworth/Vietnam Airlines contract to anyone interested in contract flying". A320 Captain, T Conard
"I have been with Rishworth for over 2 years and am currently on contract to Vietnam Airlines. During this period, I have found Rishworth to be very professional and pro-active. They are helpful and understanding. Their quick response and friendly staff make them a pleasure to work with. I recommend Rishworth to anyone venturing into the world of contract aviation. You will be in very good and safe hands!" A320 Captain & TRI, D Kumar
"In 2008 I worked with Rishworth at Vietnam Airlines which I enjoyed immensely. It was very much to our surprise the Vietnam government requires female pilots to retire at 55. Rishworth and their local representatives worked hard to find a solution, but in the end, that was not to be the case. However I can say that Rishworth supported me and also assisted me financially. Rishworth treated me well and I wouldn't hesitate to contract with them again." A320 First Officer, G Miller
"I have been on contract with Rishworth Aviation in Vietnam since December 2009. Rishworth provided me with great support and guidance through the application stage and for the screening, and this continues now that I am on contract with them. I enjoyed meeting the Rishworth team when they visited Ho Chi Minh City recently. They have made the whole contracting process very easy and I am really enjoying my new life flying for Vietnam Airlines." A330 First Officer, P Tan

Ho Chi Minh City - Your base in Vietnam |
|
|
|
Your base residence in Vietnam for the term of your Vietnam Airlines job will be Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). Like other SE Asian countries, the cost of living in Vietnam is fairly inexpensive. There are a range of accommodation options that vary in both style and price. Houses and apartments are popular choices for our Vietnam Airlines pilots. Houses are generally cheaper than apartments, but many people prefer the ease that apartment living affords. An accommodation allowance is included in the monthly fee payment, to cover the cost of your chosen accommodation.
The quality of education is very good. There is a range of schools to choose from (International, British International, French and American) which offer a cosmopolitan atmosphere with children from all parts of the globe.
In terms of transportation, many Vietnam Airlines pilots choose to use a local driver with a car or purchase a scooter to get around – both of these options are very affordable. Taxi transport is also inexpensive and easily accessible. Public buses are everywhere and are incredibly cheap; it's just a matter of learning where to get on and off!
Ho Chi Minh City is a very busy place (population approximately 9 million), with many restaurants, bars, shops and markets. There are numerous sporting and entertainment facilities and high quality medical facilities on hand 24 hours a day. Off-network domestic air travel is cheap, which provides a great opportunity to explore the many wonderful holiday destinations available within the country during your Vietnam Airlines job contract. Centrally located, Vietnam is also the perfect base from which to explore wider SE Asia, with plenty of short flights to destinations such as Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Malaysia available.

Living in Vietnam during your Vietnam Airlines' Job |
|

Vietnam, officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is bordered on the north by China, on the northwest by Laos, on the southwest by Cambodia and on the east by the South China sea.
Vietnam has a population of over 86 million, making it the 13th most populous country in the world. Vietnamese (Kinh) is the native language. Other languages spoken include: Tay, Muong, Chinese, Nung, H'mong and French. English is considered to be a second language, as its study is mandatory in schools.
The country is characterised by a diverse ethnic make-up of more than 60 ethnic groups. However the Kinh, or Viets, make up 85% of the population. Four philosophies and religions have shaped the culture in Vietnam: Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Christianity. Over the centuries, the three former belief sets melded with popular Chinese beliefs and ancient Vietnamese animism to form what is known as Ta Giao or 'Triple Religion'.
