Vietnam aviation fleet rises by 31 to 258
Vietnamese carriers operate 258 aircraft, an increase of 31 from a year ago, and the number is expected to rise further this year.
Vietnam's civil aviation authority has reported a 31% increase in the nation's aviation fleet, now totaling 258 aircraft. The leading company in this growth is Vietjet, boasting 107 aircraft, including 16 Airbus A320s, 83 Airbus A321s, and eight wide-body Airbus A330s. Vietjet recently received its latest Airbus A330 delivery, continuing its expansion of international routes and anticipating higher demand later in the year.
The airline has placed orders for over 400 aircraft from both Airbus and Boeing, with delivery plans extending through 2030.
Vietnam Airlines follows closely with 94 aircraft, featuring four Airbus A320s, 59 Airbus A321s, 14 Airbus A350s, and 17 Boeing 787s. In early September, the airline signed a memorandum of understanding with Airbus to acquire five A350-900 wide-body aircraft, with deliveries expected in 2033-2034. Sun PhuQuoc Airways, though the third-largest with 21 aircraft, all from Airbus, is rapidly expanding its fleet.
The company aspires to grow its fleet to 33 aircraft by the end of this year, 100 by 2030, and 200 by 2035. Other smaller operators, including VASCO, Green Planet Airways, Vietravel Airlines, Hai Au Aviation, Bluesky Airways, Pacific Airlines, Sun Air, Viet Flight Training, Tre Viet Aviation, and Vietstar Airlines, contribute with their respective aircraft counts.
