Vietnamese Carrier Grows Amid Global Aircraft Shortages
Vietjet is closing out 2025 with a significant fleet expansion, taking delivery of 22 new aircraft before the year’s end. The incoming aircraft will be distributed across the airline’s operations, including nine Boeing aircraft for Vietjet Thailand and seven next-generation Airbus jets for the Vietnam-based fleet. The expansion comes ahead of Lunar New Year 2026, when travel demand typically increases, and positions Vietjet among the larger carriers in Southeast Asia. The airline’s growth strategy aligns with continued travel demand growth in Asia following the pandemic recovery period, as reported by AeroTime.
