Vietjet secures mega order: 100 Airbus A321neo for Hamburg!
A great success for the aviation industry and especially for Airbus: As part of the Paris aircraft fair, Vietjet, the largest private airline Vietnam, has ordered 100 Airbus A321neo. These machines, which were signed in a declaration of intent this week, are largely produced in Hamburg, where Airbus has a strong location. According to ndr , the order value is estimated at several billion euros, even if exact figures are not published by Airbus. Another interesting detail: The order comes with the option to up to 50 additional aircraft.
Vietjets CEO Dinh Viet Phuong and Airbus EVP Sales Benoît de Saint-Exupéry signed the Mou during the fair. The entire order quantity of 100 A321NEO will ensure that Vietjet modernized its fleet and expanded its reach. The aircraft of the A321neo family are particularly in demand, since they not only have environmentally friendly features such as the possibility of flying up to 50% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), but also have an impressive balance with more than 7,000 orders, such as Airbus emphasized.
growth course of the Vietjet
The Vietjet Air Group, which includes Vietjet Air, Vietjet Air Thai and Vietjet Air Qazaqstan, has big plans. The group operates a total of over 120 aircraft, including aircraft types such as Airbus A320 and A330. The 100 A321NEO is not the only news for the latest orders. In addition, there are 20 Airbus A330-900 and 200 Boeing 737 Max on the list, such as reported.
The chairwoman of Vietjet, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, emphasizes that the company is making remarkable progress and that not all aircraft manufacturers can keep up with the growth and high ambitions of Vietjet. This commitment shows that Vietjet wants to consolidate its place on the global aviation market.
Hamburg at the center of the aviation
Hamburg plays a central role in this development. With Airbus, Lufthansa Technik and a large number of suppliers, the city is the third largest aviation location worldwide. The first mayor Peter Tschentscher did not miss the opportunity to attend the fair to underline the importance of this sector. In addition, Airbus has ambitious plans: The developer wants to bring a sustainable, hydrogen -powered jet onto the market by 2035, even if there are still some technical challenges to be overcome here.
In this context, the announcement of Lufthansa Technik should also be mentioned that builds a new work in Calgary, Canada, to test and wait for aircraft engines. In view of these developments, it is clear that the aviation industry is still on the move in both Hamburg and internationally.
