Vietnam’s Jetstar Pacific Airlines Signs MOU for 10 Airbus A320ceo Aircraft

Vietnam’s Jetstar Pacific Airlines has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus for 10 A320ceo aircraft, the first direct purchase of aircraft by the airline with Airbus.

Based in Ho Chi Minh (Saigon), Jetstar Pacific is a joint venture between Vietnam Airlines (70%) and the Qantas Group (30%).

The airline currently operates a fleet of 12 leased A320 Family aircraft, flying to 28 domestic and regional destinations.

“This agreement marks a milestone in our development,” said Le Hong Ha, Chief Executive Officer of Jetstar Pacific. “The new aircraft will allow us to expand our operation on our international network from Vietnam as part of the wider Jetstar Group. With low operating costs and a comfortable cabin, the A320 enables us to offer our passengers a quality value-based product in a highly competitive market environment.”
