    To meet the growing demand of national economic development, our domestic route network has been rapidly developed and organized based on the model of hub and spoke, covering the whole

    PART IV. BUSINESS

    OUR BUSINESS PRIOR TO EQUITIZATION

    Parent company operational performance

     Revenues structure

    With our core business being air transportation, our revenue drivers come from our passenger,cargo and air charter operations, both directly and indirectly through our dependent unit – VASCO

    (Vietnam Air Service Company). The remainder of our revenue structure stems from ancillaryrevenues.

    As previously mentioned, we earn a substantial majority of our revenue from air transport(96%of total revenue, 2008 – 2013 average). This can be further subdivided into passenger and cargo

    operations. Revenue from passenger operations makes up 89.7% of air transport revenues–(surchargefrom fuel, insurance and refund fees already included) and 86.4% of total revenues in the same period.Our cargo operation contributes 8,9% to total air transport revenues and 8.6% to total revenues.

    During 2008 – 2013, our revenue grew by 19.7%/year, of which air transportation and ancilliaryrevenues growth were 19.9% and 20.1%, respectively. The economic downturn has created a

    significant decrease in global transport demand, and subsequently caused a reduction of 8.2% in our2009 total revenues. Further impacts could be seen in our international passengers segment, which

    saw revenue went down by 8% compared to 2008. Domestic fuel surcharge, which was 200 billionVND in 2008, no longer contributed to total revenues in 2009. During the following years, we saw asubstantial rebound in total revenues, especially in 2010 and 2011, when growth were 53.5% and 26%

    respectively. This results reflected three major changes in our operating environment:

      An improved economic environment which boosted international and domestic passenger

    volumes (30% and 33%, in 2010)

      Adjusted domestic sale price ceiling by the Ministry of Finance (an increase of 20% fromApril, 2011)

      We seized the opportunity of the economic recovery to inaugurate 07 new international and

    03 new domestic routes in 2010.

    In 2013, revenue growth was 6%, lower than the average in the previous year. Weaker JPY,AUD, KRW – currencies that we have major exposure to – and intense competition on European

    routes by South East Asia and European airlines affected our average yield on international routes.

    Despite this slow down, revenue in 2013 is still twice the size of what it was back in 2008 – 2009during the economic downturn.
