Boosting its fleet, Vietjet is expected to take the delivery of 10 new aircraft, mostly the A321neo ACF (Airbus Cabin Flex) configuration, by the end of 2024.
The news of the delivery follows a decided expansion for domestic and international routes by Vietjet, with new destinations in Australia, India, China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Laos, and Cambodia, amongst others.
The airline currently operates a fleet of over 100 aircraft, including the A320, A321neo, A321neo ACF and the A330. Equally, the airline has placed a firm order with Airbus for 20 new-generation widebody A330neo (A330-900) aircraft valued at US$7.4 billion.
Vietjet was the first carrier to operate the ACF aircraft, with its improved cabin design for optimised seating and space, reduced noise by up to 75%, fuel savings of at least 16%, and lowered emissions by 50%.
The expansion of its fleet pairs with positive financial results for the first half of 2024. Vietjet’s consolidated revenue was VND34.016 trillion (US$1.35 billion), representing an increase of 15% year over year. During this half of the year, Vietjet served 13.1 million passengers and operated 70,154 flights.
