In the context of a global aviation market facing aircraft shortages and increasing travel demand, Vietjet is set to add 10 new-generation aircraft to its already advanced fleet.
A representative of the airline stated that the new aircraft are expected to be delivered starting in August, with most being the latest A321neo ACF models from Airbus. In 2019, Vietjet became the first airline in the world to operate the A321neo ACF (Airbus Cabin Flex).
The A321neo ACF features an improved cabin design that meets standards for seat size and spacing, providing passengers with an enhanced flying experience. These aircraft also contribute to at least a 16% reduction in fuel consumption, a 75% decrease in noise, and a 50% reduction in emissions.
The new aircraft are expected to be delivered from August.
Recently, Vietjet signed a contract to purchase 20 new-generation wide-body A330neo (A330-900) aircraft from Airbus, valued at $7.4 billion. Passengers will soon be able to fly on Vietjet’s new A330neo aircraft on longer routes, offering a safer, more comfortable, and modern experience.
Vietjet currently operates a fleet of over 100 aircraft, including some of the most advanced, modern, and safe models in the world, such as the A320, A321ceo, A321neo – A321neo ACF, and A330. These aircraft are environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient, aligning with the airline’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Vietjet has transported 200 million passengers, including millions experiencing air travel for the first time.
Vietjet brings a fun and happy flying experience.
In the first half of 2024, Vietjet carried 13.1 million passengers, operating 70,154 safe flights. The airline reported consolidated revenue of VND 34,016 billion and a pre-tax profit of VND 1,311 billion for the first half of 2024, marking year-on-year growth of 15% and 433%, respectively, and exceeding the annual plan by 21%. Vietjet contributed VND 3,687 billion in direct and indirect taxes and fees to the state budget during this period.
With the 10 aircraft set to be delivered from now until the end of 2024, Vietjet will continue to expand its network domestically and internationally, with new destinations in Australia, India, China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, and more. The airline consistently meets the needs of passengers, providing joyful and happy flight experiences with a professional and dedicated crew. Vietjet’s safe flights connect countries, cultures, and continents, promoting economic development, cultural exchange, and tourism.
