The A350, A351, A352 which were all produced in 2007, will be auctioned in the third quarter of this year with starting prices of USD5 million each, the airlines said.
The three planes are currently kept at Noi Bai and Tan Son Nhat airports.
Since 2020, Vietnam Airlines has started to sell A321 CEOs produced between 2004-2008.
The airlines said that the move was part of their programme to replace older-generation aircraft that have been in use for at least 12 years. The auction was also expected to offset the decrease in cash flow caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The carrier sold five planes in 2020 for an average USD7.40 million each.
In 2021, Vietnam Airlines continued to put 11 Airbus A321 CEOs up for auction. They also sold some ATR 72 planes which were used for flights to smaller airports like Con Dao and Dien Bien.
According to Planespotters, Vietnam Airlines currently has a fleet of 94 aircraft including 65 Airbus A321 CEOs with average ages of 9.30 years.
