Vietjet and Boeing have formed an agreement to allocate up to 50 737s to Vietjet Thailand from Vietjet’s existing order of 200 aircraft. The first deliveries are expected for October 2025, and the decision aims to improve connections between Thailand and Vietnam.
The agreement also includes comprehensive technical support from Boeing, including pilot, maintenance, and engineer training, as well as product services.
“We are pleased to partner with Vietjet and Vietjet Thailand to expand Boeing 737 operations in Vietnam and Thailand,” said Penny Burtt, President of Boeing Southeast Asia. “Together, we aim to connect communities and drive economic development, paving the way for a prosperous future in Vietnam and the dynamic growth region that is Southeast Asia.”
The signing ceremony was attended by Vietnam’s Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.
“The transfer of 50 modern and efficient Boeing 737-8 aircraft to Vietjet Thailand demonstrates our long-term commitment to sustainable aviation development in the region,” commented Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Chairwoman of Vietjet. “We are determined to implement the ‘Three Connectivity’ strategy between the two countries – encompassing supply chains, businesses, and localities.”
