VietJet has reaffirmed its order with CFM International for more than 400 Leap-1B engines as it prepares to take delivery of its first Boeing 737 Max in 2025. 

The signing ceremony, which took place in Paris, covers commitments that the low-cost operator placed in 2016 and 2018 when it ordered the 737 Max aircraft.

Vietjet CFM International signing

VietJet has 200 737 Max aircraft on order, and had initially aimed to take delivery of 12 jets in 2024. The first delivery has now been delayed to 2025, according to the airline’s latest statement. 

VietJet is an existing CFM customer, with the CFM56-5B engine powering its fleet of Airbus A320ceo family aircraft. 

Airline chair Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao says: “World-leading engine manufacturers like Safran and CFM have worked alongside Vietjet to provide affordable air travel for millions of people, driving growth in the dynamic Asia-Pacific aviation market, including Vietnam.”

VIETJET BOOSTS INTERNATIONAL NETWORK

VietJet will boost its international network from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi for the year-end peak travel period. 

On 28 November, the airline will launch daily flights between Hanoi and Kuala Lumpur, adding to its existing flights from Ho Chi Minh City to the Malaysian capital. 

VietJet will also resume its operations from Ho Chi Minh City to Tainan in Taiwan. The thrice-weekly flights will commence 12 December, says VietJet, which already operates to other Taiwanese cities like Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung. 

The low-cost operator adds that it is increasing frequencies between Hanoi and Nagoya and Siem Reap, as well as between Ho Chi Minh City and Vientiane. The three routes will see their frequencies increased to daily flights from 27 October. 

VietJet will double its flights from Hanoi to Busan to twice daily, and boost its flights to Bali to 49 flights a week.
