Vietjet finalises order for 100 Airbus A321neo aircraft

London, 4th October 2025:

Vietjet has converted its MoU signed in June, into a firm order for 100 A321neo aircraft.The finalisation of this contract underscores Vietjet’s network expansion and fleet modernisation strategy, bringing its total orders for the A321neo to 280 aircraft.This agreement follows closely on Vietjet’s earlier order of 20 A330neo widebody aircraft in May, further solidifying its long-term strategic partnership with Airbus.

Vietjet Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao said,“This is not merely a commercial contract, but a symbol of trust, aspiration, and a shared vision for sustainable development and global connectivity.The A321neo’s proven efficiency and flexibility make it the ideal platform to support Vietjet’s ambitious expansion,” said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business. “Combined with the A330neo, this fleet will deliver the best economics and seamless commonality across operations, hallmarks of the Airbus product family.”

The A321neo, the largest member of Airbus’ best-selling A320neo Family, offers long range and exceptional performance. By incorporating new generation engines and Sharklets, the A321neo provides a 50% noise reduction and more than 20% fuel savings and CO₂ reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft, while maximising passenger comfort.

At the end of September 2025, more than 7,100 A321neo aircraft have been ordered by nearly 100 customers across the globe.

The A321neo is able to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), with a target to increase to up to 100% SAF capability by 2030, directly supporting the aviation industry’s sustainability goals.
