Vietjet inducts new Airbus into fleet

Vietjet announced it recently inducted its 102nd aircraft, an Airbus A321neo ACF. The airline’s fifth international route was also launched in December 2023, connecting Hanoi with Hong Kong. The A321neo ACF aircraft, adorned with the Vietnamese national flag, arrived at Tan Son Nhat International Airport on 22 December 2023. The airline promptly deployed the aircraft to serve passengers on various routes covering Vietnam and international destinations. As the first airline globally to operate the new A321neo ACF 240-seat since its establishment in 2019, Vietjet pioneers fuel consumption reduction by up to 20%, noise emissions by up to 75%, and environmental emissions by up to 50%. Emphasizing its fleet and flight network expansion strategy across the Asia Pacific region, Vietjet launched multiple international services including the Shanghai – Ho Chi Minh City, Phu Quoc – Busan, Hanoi – Jakarta, Hanoi – Siem Reap, and the recently launched, Hanoi – Hong Kong route. The thrice-weekly Hanoi – Hong Kong service, operating every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, increases Vietjet’s Vietnam – Hong Kong flight network to four direct services. From February 2024 onwards, the Ho Chi Minh City – Hong Kong, Da Nang – Hong Kong and Phu Quoc – Hong Kong routes will increase to see daily services.
