HANOI -- Vingroup, Vietnam's largest private conglomerate, has continued its rapid expansion by launching an aviation wing in hopes of becoming the country's sixth carrier after forays into car and smartphone production.

The announcement on July 9 of Vinpearl Air came just weeks after Vingroup inaugurated a factory to build the fast-growing Southeast Asian economy's first domestic automobile brand.
