Vietnamese low-cost airline Vietjet has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus for a new order of 100 single-aisle A321neo aircraft, with the potential to add another 50 in the future.

The new agreement, signed during the Paris Air Show 2025, marks a significant milestone in the airline’s strategic partnership with the OEM which already operates a fleet of more than 100 Airbus aircraft.

Vietjet’s chairwoman, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, said: “These modern and efficient aircraft have been instrumental in Vietjet’s growth, helping us make air travel more accessible and affordable for millions, while strengthening our role as a connector for economic development, cultural exchange and global connectivity. This landmark agreement represents a vital step in Vietjet’s growth strategy as a multi-national aviation group.”

Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, executive vice president of sales of the commercial aircraft business at Airbus, said: “Our latest agreement comes just weeks after the airline placed an additional order for A330neo widebody aircraft. Together the A321neo and A330neo will be perfect partners for Vietjet to continue to spread its wings, efficiently matching capacity more closely to demand across its network. The airline will also benefit from the high levels of technical commonality that are unique to latest generation Airbus aircraft.”

The A321neo is the largest member of Airbus’ best-selling A320neo family, with more than 7,000 of the aircraft on order by over 90 customers across the globe.
