Vietjet has added four new aircraft to its fleet, including three A321neos and one A330 aircraft to expand the airline’s intercontinental flight network.
The airline said in a statement that new aircraft with fuel savings, emission reduction and environmental protection features will help modernize Vietjet’s fleet. This enhances the operational efficiency while bringing down operating costs, offering excellent flying experience for the passengers at reasonable fares.
In 2023, Vietjet plans to expand its fleet of 87 aircraft, including 9 Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft, to maintain its position as the market leader in terms of passenger volume and efficiency in Vietnam. The airline expects to operate 139,513 flights with 25.7 million passengers onboard.
Its targeted consolidated revenue for 2023 is over VND50,178 billion (RM9.81 billion) while after-tax profit is set at VND1,000 billion (RM195.6 million).
Growing fleet size will also support Vietjet’s expansion plan. The airline has recently announced a series of new services from Vietnam to Hiroshima (Japan), Kochi (India) while putting the Hanoi – Phuket route into operation last week. It is set to resume direct connections between Phu Quoc and Da Nang to Hong Kong and Daegu in July and increase the flight frequency of many more international services to meet the growing travel demand this summer.
The enhanced flight capacity will provide Malaysian travelers with greater flexibility to conveniently connect to popular destinations including Australia, India, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan via Vietnam, all at affordable fares.
Operating on a daily basis, flights between Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City offer thousands of passengers’ complete convenience and ease of travel with the many flight and route options offered by Vietjet both locally and internationally.
