VietJet Air purchases 20 wide-body aircraft from Airbus

VOV.VN - Representatives of Airbus, Europe's leading aircraft manufacturing corporation, welcomed the opportunity to cooperate with Vietnamese Carrier Vietjet Air on February 22 after the two sides agreed on a trade deal to purchase 20 wide-body A330neo aircraft from Airbus.

This information was released at the Singapore Airshow 2024 as Airbus confirmed that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with VietJet Air relating to the supply of wide-body aircraft to replace the A330-300 fleet that the airline is currently leasing.

Christian Scherer, CEO of Airbus's commercial aircraft business, affirmed that the group is very excited to co-ordinate alongside the low-cost Vietnamese airline in the new phase of development.

This sales contract is estimated to be worth billions of US$, marking one of the most significant agreements ever reached at Asia's largest air show.

The wide-body aircraft market is vibrant again as air travel demand recovers after the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is also the first wide-body aircraft purchase contract of VietJet Air.

The international media assess that the latest agreement shows VietJet's development in the context of the airline's plans to expand international destinations in Australia, India, China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Indonesia, and Thailand.
