Fleet Expansion

Vietjet marks a historic milestone as it completes delivery of 22 new aircraft before the end of 2025, representing the airline’s largest fleet expansion to date. The Vietnamese budget carrier received its final delivery—an Airbus A321neo ACF registered as VN-A580—just before Christmas, capping off an unprecedented expansion period for the rapidly growing carrier. The timing of this massive fleet addition is particularly significant given the broader aerospace industry context. Global aircraft shortages and supply chain disruptions have constrained delivery schedules for carriers worldwide throughout 2024 and into 2025. Vietjet’s ability to secure and receive 22 aircraft within a single month underscores the airline’s robust financial position and strong standing with both aircraft manufacturers and leasing companies.

Turkish Airlines’ subsidiary AJet has taken a significant step in its fleet modernization strategy, signing a long-term lease agreement with Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) for 10 new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. Announced on December 3, 2025, the agreement will see the fuel-efficient jets delivered between 2026 and 2027, supporting the carrier’s rapid expansion plans. AJet, which launched in 2024 following the rebranding of AnadoluJet, has established ambitious growth objectives. Over the next decade, the airline plans to expand its total fleet to 200 aircraft and establish a comprehensive route network spanning 44 countries, including 42 domestic and 80 international destinations.
