Travel Biz News —
Amidst a global aviation market facing shortages and rising travel demand, Vietnam’s Vietjet is expected to take delivery of up to 10 brand-new aircraft by the end of 2024.
This expansion will further boost the airline’s leading modern fleet, aligning perfectly with its development goals and enhancing passenger experiences on its extensive network of both domestic and international routes, according to a release issued by Vietjet Ho Chi Minh City.
Most of the new aircraft, scheduled for delivery from August 2024, are the latest A321neo ACF (Airbus Cabin Flex) model from Airbus. In 2019, Vietjet was the world’s first carrier to operate the ACF model.
Recently, Vietjet has placed a firm order with Airbus for 20 new-generation wide-body A330neo (A330-900) aircraft, valued at $7.4 billion. Travelers will soon be able to fly on these planes on longer journeys, enjoying the highest levels of safety, comfort, and state-of-the-art amenities.
Vietjet currently operates a fleet of over 100 aircraft, including the most advanced and safest generations of aircraft in the world such as the A320, A321ceo, A321neo and A321neo ACF, and A330. Vietjet has transported over 200 million passengers, including millions who have flown for the first time.
Vietjet served 13.1 million passengers and operated 70,154 safe flights in the first half of 2024.
With the 10 new aircraft arriving in the second half of 2024, Vietjet will continue to expand its network both in Vietnam and internationally, after adding new destinations in Australia, India, China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, and beyond.
The airline has also been named as Best Low-Cost Carrier by renowned organizations such as Skytrax, CAPA, Airline Ratings, and many others.
