This expansion aims to meet its growing demand and serve passengers on both domestic and international routes.

Amidst a global aviation market facing shortages and rising travel demand, Vietjet is expected to add 10 new-generation aircraft to its modern fleet in the last months of 2024.

With 10 aircraft expected to be delivered by the end of 2024, Vietjet will continue to expand its network in Vietnam and internationally, reaching new destinations in Australia, India, China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia and beyond.

The new aircraft, expected to be delivered from August 2024, are primarily the latest A321neo ACF model from Airbus. In 2019, Vietjet became the first airline in the world to operate the A321neo ACF.

Recently, Vietjet has signed a contract to purchase 20 new-generation wide-body A330neo aircraft from Airbus, valued at $7.4 billion.

Vietjet's fleet of over 100 aircraft currently includes some of the most advanced and safest models in the world, such as the A320, A321ceo, A321neo - A321neo ACF, and A330 aiming to protect the environment and save fuel, with a goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
