Rationale In 2019-2020, the world economy is forecasted to grow positively, more than 2018 but still implies risks such as global trade tensions, the split between the internal Europe, the instability of Chinese economy.
The socio-economic situation of Vietnam in 2019 is forecasted to be positive, but in overall, it will still face many difficulties. In addition to the optimistic forecasts for the domestic economic situation, the fuel price is likely to rise and the growth potential of the aviation market, the business environment are still instable and unpredictably fluctuating. In particular, the competitive situation will be increasingly fierce, both in the domestic and international markets. Foreign airlines will continue to dump into Vietnam, compete directly with Vietnam Airlines on both 2 hub airports: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
In Vietnam, low cost carriers are continuing to expand their operations and receive new aircrafts. There will be no flights that Vietnam Airlines has absolute advantage and there will not be many opportunities that passengers can only choose Vietnam Airlines. The battle for market share, ensuring revenue will really be vital to Vietnam Airlines over the network of international and domestic flights. Due to the difficult market situation, Vietnam Airlines in general and Noibai Operation Center in particular are under high pressure of competition.
Along with the development of the economy, the demand for travel of the people is increasing, coupled with the increasing awareness and demand of customers, customers have more and more chance to choose favorite and suitable airlines. In order to survive and develop in this fierce competitive environment, the key issue facing Vietnam Airlines is to improve the quality of service to improve the level of customer satisfaction in overall and at Noibai international airport in particular. Recognizing the importance of this issue, the author decides to choose the topic: "Improving the ground service quality of Vietnam Airlines at Noibai international airport" as a research topic for the thesis. Literature review In recent years there have been studies on the quality of services and the 1 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.airport quality of aviation services with different perspectives, research subjects and levels.
They can be summerized as follows: - The thesis of Master Tran Thi Thu Hoai: "Improving the quality of internet services at the Data Communication Company - VDC". Thesis was completed and defended in 2010 at the Institute of Posts and Telecommunications. Objectives of the study: Analysis and assessment of the quality of internet services at VDC and proposing some solutions to improve the quality of internet services at VDC. Study scope: Quality of internet services at the Data Communication Company - VDC.
- The dissertation of Doctor Nguyen Thi Ngoc Bich: "Completing the law on public services in the administrative field in Vietnam". The dissertation was completed and defended in 2012 at Hanoi Law University. Objectives of the study: Proposing feasible scientific solutions to improve the law on public services in the administrative field, limiting the shortcomings in the implementation of the law in order to provide high quality public services in accordance with the basis of law.

Study scope: The thesis concentrated on the research and assessment of the quality of legal consultancy services at VIETBID Law co. - The thesis of Master Nguyen Viet Tuan: “Researching some solutions to improve the quality of passenger transportation services - applied to Vietnam 2 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.
The thesis was completed and defended in 2011 at the University of Transportation. Objectives of the study: Analysing the status of passenger transportation of Vietnam Airlines in the period 2000-2010, proposing solutions to improve the quality of passenger transportation services of Vietnam Airlines. Study scope: Situation of passenger transportation on domestic and international flights of Vietnam Airlines. The gap of concerning theses: There were some theses studying on the general quality service improvement, analysing a specific service type of the business such as firm‟s internet services, law consultancy services but there is no thesis styding on one arline‟s ground service quality.
Moreover, in Vietnam Airlines there is already a thesis studying on improving the quality of passenger transportation services. However, this thesis only focused on the qualitative analysis on the overall level of all the services provided on the whole network of the company, not focused on deep research, has not built the scale of service quality assessment for the ground services of the company at Noibai international Airport. Therefore, the study of the topic of “Improving the ground service quality of Vietnam Airlines at Noibai international airport” does not coincide with the previous research topics that the author know and the study of this topic also has theoretical and practical significance. Aims of research - Determining the theoretical framework for the ground service quality and developing a scale for assessing the ground service quality provided by the airlines at the airport.
- Analysing the status of ground service quality of Vietnam Airlines at Noibai International Airport, on the basis of which finding the strengths, weaknesses and causes of weaknesses of this service quality.
