Vietjet has announced a major order for 100 Airbus A321neo aircraft at the 2025 Lé Bourget Paris Airshow, with the potential to add another 50 in the future.
As part of its wider expansion strategy, the airline is also bolstering its engine capacity with an additional 40 Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines.
These landmark agreements mark a significant step in Vietjet’s growth strategy as a multi-national aviation group, while also strengthening economic ties between Vietnam, France, and Europe.
The latest order builds on Vietjet’s commitment last month for 20 additional A330neo aircraft, bringing its total widebody aircraft on order to 40.
Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Vietjet Chairwoman said: “I have a vision and the determination to make Vietnam a regional aviation hub for passenger transportation, technical services, logistics, training, research, global supply chains, and aviation infrastructure.
“We will continue to develop a robust and modern fleet to support that goal. Today’s agreement with Airbus is more than a commercial contract—it is a significant milestone that marks the beginning of Vietjet’s new journey: a journey of global expansion, new growth drivers, enhanced connectivity, and the development of a sustainable aviation ecosystem powered by ambition and transformation.”
Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business, said: “Our latest agreement comes just weeks after the airline placed an additional order for A330neo widebody aircraft.
“Together, the A321neo and A330neo will be perfect partners for Vietjet to continue to spread its wings, efficiently matching capacity more closely to demand across its network.
“The airline will also benefit from the high levels of technical commonality that are unique to latest generation Airbus aircraft.”
