Vietnam’s VietJetAir has finalized a major order for the
A320 Family to meet its future expansion plans. The purchase agreement covers
firm orders for 42 A320neo, 14 A320ceo and 7 A321ceo, plus 30 purchase rights.
In addition the airline will lease eight more A320 Family aircraft from third
party lessors.
The order was finalized today at the Singapore Airshow by
Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Vice Chairwoman and CEO, VietJetAir and Fabrice
Bregier, President and CEO, Airbus. The signing was witnessed by Dinh La Thang,
Minister of Transport of Vietnam and Le Luong Minh, Secretary-General of ASEAN.
“The A320 has proven to be extremely efficient in service
with VietJetAir and is a favorite with our passengers,” said Luu Duc Khanh, Managing
Director, VietJetAir. “Based on this experience, we look forward to developing
our business across the Asia-Pacific region. Airbus will be our strategic
partner and provide us with the most economic and comfortable aircraft and
coordinate with VietJetAir in relevant training programs.”
"We are pleased to finalize our first purchase
agreement with VietJetAir,” said Fabrice Bregier, President and CEO, Airbus.
“This order reinforces the A320 Family‘s position as the preferred choice in
the single aisle market, both for full service and low cost carriers. We look
forward to working with VietJetAir as it brings ever more affordable air travel
to the fast growing South East Asian market.”
