Vietjet to receive up to 10 new aircraft by year-end

Amid a global aviation market facing shortages and rising travel demand, Vietjet is expected to take delivery of up to 10 new aircraft by the end of 2024. Most of the new aircraft scheduled for delivery from August 2024 are the latest A321neo ACF (Airbus Cabin Flex) model from Airbus. In 2019, Vietjet was the world’s first carrier to operate the ACF model. The A321neo ACF features an improved cabin design, ensuring standard seat dimensions and spacing, offering the best in-flight experience for passengers. These aircraft also provide at least 16% fuel savings, reduce noise by up to 75% and have less emissions by 50%. Recently, Vietjet has placed a firm order with Airbus for 20 new-generation wide-body A330neo (A330-900) aircraft, valued at $7.4 billion. Vietjet currently operates a fleet of over 100 aircraft such as the A320, A321ceo, A321neo and A321neo ACF, and A330. In the first half of 2024, Vietjet served 13.1 million passengers and operated 70,154 safe flights. The airline’s consolidated revenue totaled at VND34.016 trillion (approximately  US$1.35 billion) with a consolidated pre-tax profit of VND1.311 trillion (approximately  US$52 million), representing increases of 15% and 433% year-over-year, respectively. The profit exceeded the H1/2024 target by 21%. With the 10 new aircraft arriving in the second half of 2024, Vietjet will continue to expand its network both in Vietnam and internationally, after adding new destinations in Australia, India, China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia.
