The first Airbus A320 aircraft under VietJet Air’s order for up to 100 examples of the narrowbody type has entered final assembly in Tolouse.
The aircraft will be delivered to the Vietnamese low-cost player in the fourth quarter, says Airbus in a statement.
The VietJet order covers 63 confirmed orders and 30 purchase rights. VietJet will also lease seven A320s.
Flightglobal’s Ascend Fleets database shows that VietJet operates 16 CFM56-powered A320s, all of which are leased. Lessors include ALAFCO (five aircraft), AWAS (four), Avolon (two), CIT Aerospace (one), and GECAS (four).
