Vietjet has received two new Airbus A321 aircraft, registered as VN-A521 and VN-A542, on 31 December 2019 at Tan Son Nhat International Airport. The total number of aircraft in Vietjet’s fleet is now 80, and the VN-A521 aircraft is the third 240-seat A321neo ACF (Airbus Cabin Flex) aircraft in the world, with the two first of its type already being operated by Vietjet. With the arrival of the new aircrafts in the end of 2019, the new-age carrier is ready to meet the high travel demands during the festive period of Lunar New Year, as well as its fleet expansion plans in 2020.
The new aircraft features leather seats and premium interiors. In particular, Vietjet’s third A321neo ACF aircraft has an innovative cabin structure to increase the total number of seats to 240. It also features the advantages of most modern Airbus aircrafts, including comfortable seat zones, fuel consumption savings of a minimum of 16 per cent, noise reduction of up to 75 per cent and emissions reduction of up to 50 per cent.
Vietjet currently owns one of the world’s newest and most modern fleets with an average age of only 2.7 years. Vietjet has currently transported nearly 100 million passengers, with 130 routes covering destinations in Vietnam and international routes to Singapore, India, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, China, Indonesia and Cambodia.
