Vietjet and Airbus have finalised a landmark order for 100 Airbus A321neo aircraft, reinforcing the airline’s long-term commitment to network expansion and fleet modernisation.
In addition, Vietjet has signed a comprehensive agreement with Rolls-Royce for 92 Trent 7000 engines and TotalCare maintenance services, valued at US$3.8 billion (approx. SGD4.94 billion).
These milestone announcements took place during the official visit of Vietnam’s General Secretary To Lam to the United Kingdom — a historic occasion marking the elevation of Vietnam–UK relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The deals highlight the deepening collaboration between the two nations in aviation, technology, and investment.
Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Vietjet Chairwoman, said: “These agreements are not merely commercial contracts, but a symbol of trust, aspiration, and a shared vision for sustainable development and global connectivity.
“Airbus and Rolls-Royce have been trusted partners of Vietjet in realising people’s flying dreams — delivering safe, comfortable, and joyful journeys for our passengers.
“Together, we are not only connecting cities and countries but also connecting people, cultures, and the future — becoming a bridge of growth, cooperation, and prosperity among economies for a more peaceful and better world.”
Christian Scherer, CEO of the Commercial Aircraft business at Airbus, said: “We are proud to partner with Vietjet – a symbol of the vitality and growing stature of Vietnam.”
Ewen McDonald, Chief Customer Officer, Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace, said: “I am delighted to witness and accompany Vietjet’s remarkable growth.
“Today’s agreement opens significant opportunities for Vietjet to continue expanding its network, offering passengers affordable, comfortable, and memorable travel experiences worldwide.
“Vietjet is now among Rolls-Royce’s largest customers, and we are proud to support the airline on its impressive development journey.”
The Trent 7000 engines will power Vietjet’s upcoming fleet of 40 A330neo wide-body aircraft.
