VietJet Air Orders 20 Airbus A330-900 Aircraft

VietJet Air has placed an order for 20 Airbus A330-900 aircraft. The Memorandum of Understanding was signed at the Singapore Airshow, leading to this firm order announced at the Farnborough Airshow.

This order marks VietJet’s first for wide-body aircraft, intending to replace the currently leased Airbus A330-300 fleet. These aircraft will be deployed on long-haul routes and high-demand regional routes, with a catalog price of approximately $7.4 billion USD (1 trillion 158 billion JPY).

VietJet Air’s Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao stated, “The new A330neo will strategically enhance VietJet’s fleet development, improve our operational capability, and significantly support our global route expansion. Introducing the advanced, fuel-efficient A330neo to VietJet is part of our sustainable development and ESG goals, contributing to our target of achieving net zero by 2050. Soon, our passengers will be able to enjoy safer and more comfortable long-haul flights. With the introduction of Airbus aircraft, VietJet will offer cost-effective flights to more than 200 million customers, including first-time flyers, connecting various countries and continents, thereby contributing to economic and cultural exchange globally.”

The Airbus A330-900 aircraft are equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines and have a maximum range of 13,300 kilometers.
