Vietjet adds latest Airbus to fleet - 1

Vietjet Air has just added the world’s first 240-seat Airbus A321neo ACF (Airbus Cabin Flex) to its modern fleet.

The A321neo ACF has an innovative cabin structure that ensure standards in seating and provides the best flight experience.

According to Airbus, the A321neo ACF will be the basis for it to develop narrow-body aircraft on longer haul flights.

The A321neo ACF helps reduce fuel consumption by a minimum of 16 per cent and cuts noise and emissions by up to 75 per cent and 50 per cent, respectively.

Vietjet currently owns one of the world’s newest and most modern fleets, with an average age of only 2.7 years and optimal operating costs, which helps bring more reasonable flying opportunities to passengers.

With 129 domestic and international routes, Vietjet currently operates a fleet with the world’s top technical reliability, of 99.64 per cent.

Vietjet is the first airline in Vietnam to operate as a new-age airline offering flexible, cost-saving tickets and diverse services to meet passenger needs. It provides not only transport services but also uses the latest e-commerce technologies to offer various products and services.

It is a fully-fledged member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and has IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification. It was named “Best Ultra Low-Cost Airline 2018 - 2019” and awarded the highest ranking for safety, with seven stars, in 2018 and 2019 by the world’s only safety and product rating website, AirlineRatings.com. The carrier has also been listed as one of the world’s 50 best airlines for healthy financing and operations, by Airfinance Journal in 2018.

Vietjet currently operates around 400 flights daily, carrying more than 80 million passengers to date, with 129 routes covering destinations around Vietnam and international destinations such as Japan, Hong Kong (China), Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan (China), China, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, India and Cambodia.
