**A Milestone Moment at Singapore Airshow 2024: Vietjet's Leap into the Future with Airbus A330neo Deal** In a groundbreaking announcement that's setting the tone for the future of aviation, Vietjet and Airbus Group have unveiled a partnership that's about to change the game. At the heart of this collaboration? An order for 20 state-of-the-art A330neo (A330-900) aircraft. Why is this significant? For starters, it marks Vietjet's most ambitious step into the wide-body aircraft realm, making it a highlight of this year's Singapore Airshow. But it's more than just numbers.

The transition from the leased A330-300 fleet to the A330neo is not just an upgrade. It's a strategic move towards operational excellence, embracing the future with open arms. Christian Scherer of Airbus puts it best, "The A330neo will propel Vietjet into its next expansion phase, achieving unmatched operating costs per seat and continuing to deliver exceptional value to its customers." Mr Dinh Viet Phuong from Vietjet echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the strategic addition of the A330neo to modernize and enhance operational capacities. "It's a leap towards our sustainable development strategy, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050," he remarks, underscoring the commitment to a greener future. With Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines powering these birds, the A330-900 promises a non-stop range of 7,200nm/13,300km. This is more than just a statistic; it's a testament to the global reach and environmental commitment Vietjet is striving for. As of January 2024, the A330 family's legacy is undeniable, boasting 1,771 orders from over 130 customers. And as Vietjet joins this prestigious club, it's not just about expanding a fleet. It's about embracing innovation, pushing boundaries, and preparing for a future where the sky's not the limit but the beginning. Vietjet's journey is taking off, and we're here for it. 🚀 #VietjetAir #VietJetAirCargo #Airbus #A330neo #AviationInnovation #SustainableTravel #SingaporeAirshow2024

We are thrilled to announce that our first Airbus A321neo has successfully completed its maiden flight at Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport! 🚀 This crucial flight was conducted by a skilled crew of Airbus Test Pilots and Test Engineers, whose main objective was to test warning and alert systems, as well as perform checks that are not possible on the ground. The aircraft was flown from its lowest flyable speed to its maximum allowable speed, ensuring all systems are functioning optimally. This is just the beginning of many test flights before we officially welcome this cutting-edge aircraft into our fleet in the coming weeks. The introduction of the A321neo marks a significant milestone in KLM's fleet renewal efforts, aligning with the sector plan of "Cleaner, Quieter, More Efficient." These new aircraft are considerably quieter than the current generation of planes and result in a 21% reduction in CO2 emissions per passenger-kilometer. Stay tuned for more updates on the A321neo 💙. #KLM #A321neo #Aviation #Innovation #FleetRenewal
