Vietjet Takes Delivery of New Airbus A320-200 (VN-A659)

[HD video below] Vietjet has taken delivery of its latest brand new Airbus A320, the third of the 100 aircraft order made by the airline with Airbus in September 2013.

The arrival of VN-A659 brings Vietjet’s current fleet count to 21, a timely addition to accommodate the increased travel demand during the Lunar New Year holiday season.

Vietjet is also expected to welcome another A320 aircraft in Thailand in March 2015. This will enable its joint venture Thai Vietjet to operate its inaugural domestic flight in Thailand during the busy Songkran festival period in April.

Thai Vietjet will operate domestic flights from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok to Phuket, Udon Thani and Krabi, as well as international flights between Bangkok and Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam.

With a fleet of 21 Airbus A320 aircraft, Vietjet operates approximately 150 flights per day. The airline currently operates 28 domestic and international routes across the region, including destinations such as Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan and Cambodia. It is also actively planning to expand its international flight network across the Asia Pacific region and beyond.
