VietJet Air is expected to start taking deliveries of 200 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in 2024 to help the airline’s growth and recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic.
An official of Vietnam’s low-cost carrier said the airline discussed with Boeing and has agreed to revise the delivery schedule. “Now we expects to receive the first batch of the 737 MAX between 2024 and 2028.”
The air carrier confirmed that the first 50 jets will join the fleet of its subsidiary, Thai VietJet, one of the leading domestic airlines in Thailand. The agreement is an essential part of the airline's global strategy.
In July this year, at the Farnborough International Airshow, VietJet confirmed a 2019 order for 200 Boeing 737 Max jets. The airline's managing director Dinh Viet Phuong said the deal will help in expanding VietJet's international flight network with a higher capacity.
As part of the agreement, Boeing is committed to supporting VietJet with technical services, training, technology transfer, and research & development (R&D) to ensure lasting and sustainable growth with the highest levels of efficiency, reliability, and affordability.
“We are honoured to continue our partnership with VietJet to drive affordable passenger service in one of the world's fastest-growing aviation regions,” John Bruns, Vice President, India & Southeast Asia Sales & Marketing, Boeing Commercial Airplanes said during the announcement in Farnborough. "The 737 Max, with its efficiency, flexibility and capability, will support VietJet’s goal to grow its route network in Asia and beyond,” he added.
VietJet and Boeing earlier signed order deals totaling 200 B737 Max with maintenance and technical support packages. The first order for 100 B737 Max in 2016 was a remarkable deal for one of the most modern aircraft models at the time. In 2019, both parties increased the total order to 200 aircraft, making the order a record for Boeing.
The agreement had been interrupted mainly because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
