The Vietnamese low-cost airline Vietjet, a popular low-cost airline, has ordered 20 new A330neo aircraft from Hamburg-based aircraft manufacturer Airbus. The airline plans to use these aircraft to expand its fleet and extend its network, particularly in Southeast Asia and towards Europe, according to the Hamburger Abendblatt. MTU, an important supplier for Airbus, is also involved in this deal as they are involved in the development and manufacture of the aircraft engines.
The order for the A330neo aircraft by Vietjet is a significant order for Airbus and underlines the demand for efficient and low-emission aircraft in the low-cost airline market. The A330neo offers greater range and efficiency compared to older models, which will be beneficial for Vietjet as it expands its network. Vietjet's choice of the A330neo also demonstrates confidence in Airbus' technology and reliability, according to the Hamburger Abendblatt.
