Vietjet Takes Delivery of First Airbus A321

The first Airbus A321 for Vietjet arrived at its new home in Ho Chi Minh City on 22 March, following a delivery flight from the Airbus final assembly line in Hamburg, Germany.

The A321 is the 9000th aircraft to be delivered by Airbus and received a special welcome in Vietnam from Vietjet’s management and crew.

Vietjet first took to the skies in 2011 and now operates a fleet of 22 A320 Family aircraft on a network covering Vietnam and a growing number of destinations across Asia.

The A321 delivered is the first of seven ordered by the airline as part of a major aircraft acquisition plan for up to 100 A320 Family aircraft announced in early 2014.
