Vietjet Air has entered into a Airbus(MoU) with Airbus for the acquisition of 20 A330-900 widebody aircraft.
This landmark agreement marks Vietjet’s inaugural widebody order and signals a significant milestone for the airline. The newly acquired A330neo aircraft will be deployed on Vietjet’s expanding long-range network and high-capacity regional services, replacing the carrier’s current leased A330-300 fleet and facilitating further network expansion.
Mr. Dinh Viet Phuong, Chief Executive Officer of Vietjet, expressed, “The addition of the new A330neo aircraft is a strategic move aimed at modernizing Vietjet’s fleet comprehensively, enhancing operational capabilities to support our global flight network expansion plans. Its fuel-efficient new-generation design aligns perfectly with our sustainable development strategy and ESG goals, with a vision for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. With the introduction of the A330neo, passengers can anticipate longer-range flights with superior amenities and services, all offered at more competitive fares.”
Mr. Christian Scherer, CEO of Airbus’ Commercial Aircraft business, stated, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Vietjet on the next phase of the carrier’s expansion. The A330neo will enable Vietjet to achieve optimal operating costs per seat and continue delivering the best possible value to its customers across various destinations. It will complement Vietjet’s existing fleet, particularly the A321XLRs, as the airline extends its reach to more distant locations.”
Featuring the acclaimed Airspace cabin, the A330neo offers passengers an unparalleled travel experience, characterized by enhanced comfort, ambiance, and design. Notable features include increased personal space, expanded overhead storage, state-of-the-art lighting, and access to cutting-edge in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems.
