Vietnamese budget airline VietJet has announced a fresh order for 20 Airbus A330neo wide-body aircraft, strengthening its fleet expansion strategy. The new deal, revealed during French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Hanoi, brings VietJet’s total A330neo orders to 40, following a previous agreement for 20 jets last year.
The airline did not disclose the cost or delivery timeline but stated that the order aligns with its long-term growth plan, aimed at bolstering its Asia-Pacific network and potentially launching long-haul routes to Europe. The agreement was signed by VietJet Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao and Airbus executive Wouter van Wersch.
Thao emphasized that the A330neo aircraft will play a key role in expanding the airline’s international operations. Airbus echoed the sentiment, expressing pride in the continued partnership and VietJet’s choice of the A330neo to support its wide-body fleet ambitions.
The deal comes at a strategic moment, as Vietnam navigates trade negotiations with the United States to avoid heavy tariffs. VietJet’s ongoing intention to balance trade by purchasing Boeing aircraft also remains under scrutiny. The airline previously committed to buying 200 Boeing 737 MAX jets in a 2016 deal, which was later revised. However, Boeing has yet to deliver any planes from that order.
The Airbus order strengthens VietJet’s fleet diversification while reinforcing ties with Europe amid shifting global trade dynamics. As the low-cost carrier eyes global routes, the A330neo's fuel efficiency and long-range capabilities are expected to support its ambitions.
This expansion reflects VietJet’s growing role in regional aviation and its efforts to position itself as a competitive player in long-haul travel, signaling strong demand growth and strategic fleet modernization in Southeast Asia.
