Vietnamese airline Vietjet has ordered 20 new Airbus A330neo widebody aircraft from French aircraft manufacturer Airbus to expand its international network strategically over the next decade. It has ordered the A330-900 aircraft for its fleet. This deal will help the airline introduce new future long-haul services to Europe.

Vietjet Signs Deal with Airbus

Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao who is the chairwoman of Vietjet and Wouter van Wersch who is the president of Airbus International signed the deal in Hanoi. It was done in the presence of Luong Cuong, President of Vietnam during Emmanuel Macron, President of France’s official visit to the country.

The purchase is meant to support Vietjet’s ongoing network expansion and help the airline increase flights on “high capacity routes” across the Asia-Pacific region.

Vietjet Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao said:

“Modern Airbus aircraft, with the latest levels of efficiency and lower fuel consumption, have accompanied Vietjet’s growth and will continue to support our global flight network expansion.”

Vietjet’s Airbus fleet and international network

With this new purchase, Vietjet has now ordered 40 Airbus A330neo widebody aircraft in total. The airline has also previously ordered 96 A320neo family single-aisle aircraft. Vietjet’s current fleet is an all-Airbus fleet made up of 115 single-aisle A320 Family aircraft and seven A330-300s.

Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, EVP Sales Commercial Aircraft at Airbus said:

“We are proud that the carrier (Vietjet) has selected the A330neo as its widebody aircraft of choice to build on its success, and we look forward to continuing our partnership as Vietjet expands its reach.”

In terms of long-haul services, Vietjet flies to India, Kazakhstan, and Australia as part of its international routes. These services operate using the airline’s A330-300s.

Most recently, Vietjet partnered with Astana and Qazaq Air to launch a new airline, Vietjet Qazaqstan, to deepen bilateral ties between Vietnam and Kazakhstan.
