The State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC) has injected an additional VND7.77 trillion ($293 million) into Vietnam Airlines Corporation through share purchases, bringing its total investment in the national flag carrier to nearly VND14.67 trillion ($553 million).

SCIC first invested in Vietnam Airlines on September 13, 2021, with more than VND6.89 trillion ($260 million), helping the airline improve liquidity and maintain operations during the period most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the two rounds of disbursements, SCIC now holds 47.09% of Vietnam Airlines' charter capital.

The corporation noted that this move is not merely a financial investment but also part of implementing the policies and directives of the Party, the National Assembly, and the Government in strengthening State-owned enterprises (SOEs) as key pillars of the economy.
