Vietjet takes delivery of 1st A330

On Christmas Day 2021, Vietjet took delivery of its very first widebody aircraft. The Airbus in question is A330-300 VP-CJW (974), which was welcomed at Ho Chi Minh City by a delegation and got a water-salute by the airport fire brigade. The A330 is leased from ICBC and was previously in use with AirAsia X as 9M-XXB and will be registered VN-A811 in the coming days.

Vietjet will take delivery of at least three leased A330-300s and has announced it will first fly the type to Moscow as its new long-haul destination. The route is due to start in mid-2022.
