Airbus has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Vietjet Air signaling its intention to acquire 20 A330-900 widebody aircraft. This marks a significant move for Vietjet, representing its first-ever order for widebody planes, which will play a crucial role in the airline’s strategy for long-range and high-capacity regional services.
The Memorandum of Understanding signifies the initial step in Vietjet’s commitment to modernize its fleet and expand its global flight network. Once finalized, this order will see the A330-900s replacing Vietjet’s existing leased fleet of A330-300s, contributing to the overall fleet modernization plan.
