According to Wikipedia, it received its air operator's certificate in November 2014 and began flying in March 2015. It is headquartered in Bang Phli, Samut Prakan, and is led by chief executive Woranate Laprabang. It does not belong to a global alliance. Its frequent-flyer programme is VietJet SkyClub.

The main base is Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, with a second base at Taipei Taoyuan listed on Wikipedia. The airline serves Thai domestic routes and international destinations, with 29 destinations listed. A third-party route guide reports 22 domestic routes across 11 Thai airports. The wider Vietnam–Thailand market is large: Vietnam News says VietJet's network between the two countries has carried 50 million passengers on 40 routes. Thai Vietjet and Thai AirAsia X were the two carriers using Suvarnabhumi's new satellite terminal during its soft-launch period, according to Aviation Week.
