Vietnam Airlines said that on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of its establishment (19952025) and looking forward to the country's major holidays in 2025, Vietnam Airlines will officially launch the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft with the number VN-A868.
The aircraft has a special design, highlighting the image of the Lac bird - a sacred symbol of Vietnamese culture, associated with the origin of the nation and the aspiration to reach far and last.
This aircraft with a new and iconic appearance is a crystallization of the depth of national culture and the vision of global integration.
The image of a peanut bird, the original icon from the Dong Son era was portrayed on the body of the Boeing 787, the most modern aircraft in the world today, also the most advanced technology in Vietnam Airlines.
This combination has profound communication meaning: a Vietnam proud of its cultural heritage, and ready to conquer the world sky with modern internal resources, pioneering technology and unique identity.
Lac bird is not only an artistic image, but also a cultural declaration: expressing the desire for a prosperous future, for the breakthrough and longevity of the Vietnamese people in the flow of globalization.
In the context of the country entering the new stage of development, with the orientation of promoting Vietnamese cultural and cultural values as the pillars for endogenous strength and sustainable development are clearly defined in the XIII Congress document of the Party, Vietnam Airlines chose to recreate the image of birds on the world's most modern aircraft is the vivid act, showing that spirit in creative and responsible.
The image of the Lac bird on the flap is not only a cultural symbol, but also an affirmation of the aspiration to rise up, integrate and affirm the national identity of Vietnam in the sky of the world.
Mr. Dang Anh Tuan, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Airlines shared: “The image of a bird is the embodiment of the pioneering spirit, the desire to conquer and the will to constantly rise up. The reproduction of that icon on Boeing 787, the pride of the world aviation technology shows the aspiration of Vietnam Airlines, as a national airline in traditional and future connection, bringing Vietnamese identity as far as the same time."
Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Tung, Director of the Vietnam Institute of Development Studies and Sciences, highly appreciated this initiative: A large enterprise with a wide flight network such as Vietnam Airlines used the image of the Lac bird in its accompanying campaign along with major events and holidays of the country, which is very meaningful, demonstrating respect for national historical values, contributing to promoting and spreading Vietnamese culture.
The aircraft with the image of the Lac bird will be put into operation on key domestic and international routes, becoming a special "cultural ambassador", contributing to spreading the image of a modern, imbued with identity closer to friends around the world.
2025 is a special milestone for Vietnam Airlines, marking the 30th anniversary of the establishment and development of the Corporation with the core being Vietnam National Airlines and an ecosystem of more than 20 member units.
After three decades of "Together with the River Taking Off", Vietnam Airlines has transported hundreds of millions of passengers, traveling more than 3 billion kilometers, connecting Vietnam with more than 30 international destinations. Each flight is not only a journey, but also a bridge connecting the soul, culture and aspirations of Vietnam with the world.
