Vietnam’s VietJetAir has signed a purchase agreement with Airbus that includes 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 finalised on Tuesday at the Singapore Airshow by Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Vice Chairwoman and CEO, VietJetAir and Fabrice Brégier, 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 favourite 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.”

Fabrice Brégier, President and CEO, Airbus, added, “We are pleased to finalise our first purchase agreement with VietJetAir. 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.”
