Vietjet Sets Sights on Europe with 20 More Airbus A330neos
Four Concise Paragraphs:
The recent order of 20 Airbus A330-900 aircraft by Vietjet doubles its previous commitment and represents a strategic leap into the long-haul aviation market. This expansion is intended to meet rising passenger demand and unlock new routes, particularly to Europe, while strengthening existing services across Asia-Pacific.
The aircraft will feature Airbus’s advanced Airspace cabin, offering passengers more personal space, enhanced lighting, and the latest in-flight connectivity. These comfort-focused upgrades are expected to position Vietjet competitively among international carriers.
The A330neo’s capability to fly over 13,000 kilometers non-stop opens the door for Vietjet to serve destinations far beyond its current reach. Combined with modern fuel efficiency and reduced operational costs, the aircraft offers a solid foundation for long-term international operations.
This order also showcases the growing aerospace ties between France and Vietnam, symbolized by the presence of both nations’ presidents at the signing. Airbus further cements its role as Vietjet’s sole aircraft supplier, with the airline now operating an all-Airbus fleet.
Vietjet’s expanded A330neo order signals its bold ambition to become a key player in long-haul air travel, while embracing efficiency, comfort, and sustainability.
“Modern Airbus aircraft, with the latest levels of efficiency and lower fuel consumption, have accompanied Vietjet’s growth and will continue to support our global flight network expansion.” — Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Chairwoman of Vietjet
