Excerpt: Vietnam Airlines Corporation (Vietnamese: ), trading as Vietnam Airlines (Vietnamese: ), is the national flag carrier of Vietnam. It was established as a state enterprise in April 1989, and has its headquarters in the Long Bien district of Hanoi, with hubs at Noi Bai International Airport and Tan Son Nhat International Airport. From there, the airline flies to 62 destinations in 19 countries, including code-shares, using its fleet of 60 airplanes. Vietnam Airlines Corporation was subsequently formed in 1993, after bringing together several service companies. The company is overseen by a seven-seat management board, members of which are appointed by the Vietnamese Prime Minister. Vietnam Airlines used to be the major stakeholder in Vietnam's second largest carrier, Jetstar Pacific Airlines, but its share has recently been transferred to the Ministry of Finance, then subsequently, to the State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC).
