Vietjet was recognized for operating one of the youngest and most modern fleets in the Asia-Pacific, predominantly A321neo, which deliver significant fuel savings as well as reductions in CO₂ emissions and noise compared with previous aircraft generations. The airline also is an early adopter of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in Vietnam and has implemented innovative practices for fuel efficiency across its operations.
In its latest order, the LCC confirmed 100 A321neo during visit by Vietnam’s General Secretary, To Lam, to the UK at the turn of the month.
“This not merely a commercial contract, but a symbol of trust, aspiration and a shared vision for sustainable development and global connectivity,” Vietjet chair, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, said.
Vietjet is the first airline in Vietnam to publish an ESG sustainability report. The carrier has recently formed a partnership with Petrolimex Aviation to use Vietnam-blended SAF for the first time under ISCC EU standards, meeting strict sustainability requirements. By 2025, Vietjet has invested billions of US$ in fleet modernization, including orders for 40 new-generation A330neo which reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by 25% compared with previous generation aircraft. Its fleet also includes 100 additional A321neo aircraft. These investments underscore Vietjet’s commitment to advancing sustainable aviation and supporting the global goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
