    Vietjet converts order for 42 A320neo to A321neo

    Vietjet will convert its existing order for 42 A320neo to the superior and larger A321neo, bringing to a total of 73 A321neo and 11 A321ceo on order for future delivery. The agreement was signed recently by Vietjet President and CEO Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao and Fabrice Brégier, Airbus Chief Operating Officer and President Commercial Aircraft.

    The first A321neo “new engine option”, registered as VN-646, has also arrived at Tan Son Nhat International Airport from Hamburg recently, marking a major milestone for Vietjet as it has become the first airline in Southeast Asia to operate the Airbus aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney’s latest-generation GTF engines.

    Fitted out with 230 comfy leather-covered seats and high-quality carpeting, the first five rows of Vietjet’s spacious new A321neo have been especially designed to accommodate passengers flying Skyboss, the airline’s premium service. The aircraft’s interior also features a unique color-changing LED light system and striking décor to create a comfortable and refreshing ambience throughout the whole cabin.

    The brand new A321neo incorporates the latest in engine design, advanced aerodynamics and cabin innovations. According to the aircraft manufacturer, its GTF engines offer a significant reduction in fuel consumption — at least 16 percent from day one and 20 percent by 2020 — as well 75% reduction in noise and 50% in emissions.

    The A321neo is also the 17th aircraft Vietjet has received in 2017 alone, increasing its total fleet to 55. The new aircraft has begun operating on domestic and international routes to and from Vietnam as of January 2018.
    “We are proud when a dynamic airline like Vietjet endorses our products,” said Fabrice Brégier, Airbus Chief Operating Officer and President Commercial Aircraft. “The A321neo combines higher capacity with the lowest operating costs in its class, offering unbeatable efficiency. This aircraft will be a real asset in Vietjet’s expansion plans in such a fast-growing market. We look forward to seeing the A321neo flying in Vietjet colours.”

    “The A320 family aircraft has greatly contributed to Vietjet’s impressive operation performances with the airline’s technical reliability rate standing at 99.6% in 2017. The aircraft have also helped us maintain some of the lowest operating costs in the airline world,” said Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Vietjet President and CEO. “The upgraded A321neo deal once again emphazises Vietjet’s ceaseless efforts to modernize our fleet. We believe that the technical reliability rate and other operation and safety indexes will continue to go up in order to bring maximum comfort, joy and safety to our valued passengers.”

    The A320 Family is the world’s best-selling single-aisle product line and comprises four models (A318, A319, A320, A321) seating from 100 to 240 seats. With more than 5,300 orders received from 95 customers since its launch in 2010, the A320neo family has captured some 60 percent share of the market.

This follows the official announcement that Thai Vietjet has just received the recertified AOC (Air Operator Certificate) from the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT).

Earlier, Thai Vietjet announced that it will introduce two new international routes connecting Phuket and Chiang Mai with Vietnam’s largest tourism and economic hub of Ho Chi Minh City.

    “We believe that the recertification will further reassure the confidence of travelers across the globe in our services and the Thai airline industry as well,” said Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Binh, Thai Vietjet’s management representative. “To further deliver our promise to contribute to the growth of Thai tourism, today I am also pleased to announce the opening of Thai Vietjet’s new international route from Bangkok to Dalat in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The new flight will be launched just before the International Flower Festival of Dalat, which is held in December this year. I am delighted that people from these two countries can now enjoy their neighboring country even more through our expanding flight network.”

    The Transport Minister of Thailand, Mr. Arkhom Termpittayapaisit, said: “Thai Vietjet is the 12th carrier to pass the recertification process since CAAT started to recertify the AOC for airlines. I have witnessed the airline’s dedication on preparing and improving itself to successfully pass the overall operational standards of ICAO. And the new AOC, bestowed to Thai Vietjet today, is a remarkable milestone for the carrier to further prove its safety and services as it spreads its wings and continues to fly further and higher on this journey of sustainable development.”

Boasting thick pine forests and verdant valleys of postcard beauty as well charming old French villas, beautiful waterfalls and gorgeous lakes, the city of Dalat has become one of the most favorite destinations in the country and the region, particularly when it comes to winter where flowers blossom in full colors all over the city. Therefore, the city is known to Vietnamese by many lovely names such as Little Paris, the City of Love, the City of Poetry, the Green City.

    Following the newly-launched route to Dalat in December 2017, Thai Vietjet and Vietjet Group will operate a total of six direct routes between Thailand and Vietnam, including Bangkok to Hanoi/ Hai Phong/ Ho Chi Minh City and Dalat and Phuket/Chiang Mai to Ho Chi Minh City.

  • Vietnam’s richest man makes huge jump up global billionaires list

    Vietnam’s richest man makes huge jump up global billionaires list

    Pham Nhat Vuong, Vietnam’s first billionaire and owner of giant conglomerate Vingroup, has leapt 97 positions to become the 543rd richest person in the world, released on Tuesday.

    The magazine’s real-time list of the world’s billionaires showed that Vuong’s assets had expanded by more than 14 percent to $4 billion in just 13 days.

    He’d already marked a milestone on November 8 by climbing 227 places in eight months to 640th on the list, with his net worth growing by more than $1 billion.

    His rise came following the IPO of Vingroup’s retail unit Vincom early this month, which was hailed as the biggest IPO debut ever in the country after raising nearly $709 million and valuing the mall operator at around $3.4 billion.

    Vingroup’s shares have also gained nearly 100 percent since mid-2017, closing at VND77,000 ($3.40) on Tuesday. Vuong, 49, owned more than a 27 percent stake in Vingroup as of June this year.

    Vingroup is one of Vietnam’s largest real estate conglomerates, and has been expanding rapidly into retail, logistics, agriculture, education and healthcare. As of the end of September, its subsidiary Vincom Retail was managing, operating and renting 41 shopping malls with a total area of over 1.1 million square meters (272 acres). It also has 22 projects under construction and another 50 in early development.

    Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, the only other Vietnamese billionaire and owner of budget carrier Vietjet, now ranks 1,177th on the Forbes list with assets worth around $2 billion.

    At the top of the list are Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos with a net worth of $94.9 billion, followed by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates with $89 billion and Warren Buffet with $77.9 billion.

  • Vietjet evolving as a Consumer Airline in its next phase development

    Vietjet evolving as a Consumer Airline in its next phase development

    Fast growing Vietjet is evolving to become a “Consumer Airline” in its next phase of development, according to its President and CEO, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, at the APEC CEO Summit 2017 in Danang, Vietnam.
    Speaking at the session themed “Connecting for Growth,” Nguyen said Vietjet is heading to build up the airline that serves consumption demands, using e-commerce platform and logistics and consumption product distribution system.

    “We are leading a digitalization and automation trend in the 4.0 technology revolution. I believe that direction plays a very important role to fulfill the target of – connecting for growth,” she said.

    Sharing the Vietjet success story, Nguyen said “our pride named Vietjet” is a typical corporate culture trait which is the key of success for all our plans, all strategies and all ambitions.

    “Each of us is proud of being a member of our organization. We do strongly believe that with the connection of civilizations and nations and cultures, trading sectors which create ecological systems for human development and economic growth, there is a prosperous and brighter future in the sky. We are dedicated to realizing that future soon.”

    She also presented the Vietjet vision with a global development plan that comes with efforts to build up the airline into a multi-national company and multi-cultural environment homing staff from more than 30 countries.

    Defined by our motto “Sky Connection,” Vietjet international routes now account for more than two-third of our operating network, she said.

    “We are heading our international network via interlines with credited airlines in the world. We successfully did it with Qatar Airways, doing it with Japan Airlines and will do it with Asiana soon. We are also working with one carrier in the US and one carrier in EU for possible co-operations. Other than standard low-cost carriers which can only fly around with a radius of less than three hours, in a very near future, our passengers can fly to many destinations around the world,” she added.

    At the helm of Vietjet’s rapid expansion, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao has been named by Forbes as one of the world’s top 10 power women in business. It is her ambition to grow Vietjet, which she founded in 2011 into an international airline. Vietjet, the first airline in Vietnam to operate as a new-age airline with low-cost and diversified services, was listed in the country’s largest IPO on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange last February.

    After only five years of operation, Vietjet has captured the biggest share of the Vietnam local market and become the country’s largest domestic carrier.

    The APEC CEO Summit 2017, held in Da Nang between 8 – 10 November, 2017 is Asia-Pacific’s premier business event. It provides unparalleled opportunities for global business executives to engage in dialogue with APEC Leaders, high-level government officials and influential thought leaders.

  • Vietnam’s richest man leapfrogs Donald Trump on Forbes’ billionaires list

    Vietnam’s richest man leapfrogs Donald Trump on Forbes’ billionaires list

    Vietnam’s richest man and first billionaire has climbed past U.S. President Donald Trump on Forbes magazine’s real time list of the world’s billionaires.

    Pham Nhat Vuong, founder and chairman of Vingroup JSC., was the world’s 640th richest person with a net worth of $3.5 billion as of 5 p.m. GMT on November 8.

    Since the release of Forbes‘ 2017 billionaires list in March, when Vuong was ranked 867th, his net worth has increased by over $1 billion. This gain is largely attributed to Vingroup’s shares gaining nearly 50 percent in the last six months and the IPO of Vingroup subsidiary Vincom Retail earlier this week.

    Meanwhile, the U.S. president and real estate mogul dropped from 544th to 734th with a net worth of $3.1 billion. His fortune has been declining over the past year due to a tough New York real estate market, a costly lawsuit and an expensive presidential campaign, according to Forbes.

    Meanwhile Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, founder of budget airline Vietjet Air and Vietnam’s second billionaire, was ranked 1246th with a net worth of $1.9 billion.

    At the top of the billionaires list was Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos with a net worth of $94.9 billion, followed by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates at number two with $89.5 billion.

    Vingroup is one of Vietnam’s largest real estate conglomerates, and has also been expanding rapidly into retail, logistics, agriculture, education and healthcare. As of the end of September, its subsidiary Vincom Retail was managing, operating and renting 41 shopping malls with a total area of over 1.1 million square meters (272 acres).

  • Vietnam’s richest woman wants a Walmart connection on her airline

    Vietnam’s richest woman wants a Walmart connection on her airline

    The founder and CEO of Vietnamese budget carrier VietJet has said she wants to sell products from the world’s biggest retailer Walmart on her airline.

    Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, the first and only female billionaire in Vietnam according to Forbes magazine, presented the idea to Scott Price, executive vice president of Global Leverage for Walmart International, at the ongoing Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Vietnam’s central city of Da Nang.

    “We call ourselves a consumers’ airline,” Thao said on Thursday at the APEC CEO Summit.

    “The idea to work with Walmart is an example of VietJet’s customer-oriented approach, emphasizing our philosophy of providing more convenient services for Vietnamese clients in the near future,” she said.

    She also spoke about the role of technology in trade and business, suggesting a tech connection with Walmart for VietJet’s passengers.

    Price said the company is willing to work with VietJet as it has yet to open any stores in Vietnam, providing there is demand for its products.

    “We plan to expand further,” Thao said. “Vietnamese airlines play an important role in connecting Southeast Asia. In the near future we’ll collaborate with more airlines, such as Korea’s ASIANA.”

    Vietjet already has deals with Quatar Airway and Japan Airlines, and is in talks with an airline in the U.S. and another in Europe.

    “Thanks to the connections that VietJet is building, passengers can fly anywhere they want to around the world,” Thao said.

    The CEO Summit has gathered more than 2,000 local and foreign businesses and is one of the most important events at the APEC Summit. It is hosting leaders from the 21 Pacific Rim nations and thousands of businesspeople, including Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, UPS CEO David Abney, and chairman and CEO of J.P. Morgan Asia Pacific Nicolas Aguzin.

    Last week, Thao secured 55th spot on the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women 2017 ranking, jumping seven places from the previous year, and was the only Vietnamese national named on the list compiled by Forbes.

    According to the magazine, Thao has an estimated net worth of $1.93 billion, eclipsing the figure of $1.2 billion it calculated in March.

    Thao launched VietJet in 2011. Her “bikini” airline, nicknamed after its unique yet controversial promotion scheme of putting female crew in bikinis on some flights, now offers 300 flights a day, or more than 40 percent of the country’s flights, with a fleet of 45 jets.

    In May, It is reported that the Hanoi-based VietJet Aviation Joint Stock Co. was in talks to become the first Vietnamese company to list on an overseas stock exchange.

    “We’ve been approached by some foreign stock exchanges including London, Hong Kong and Singapore, which expressed their interest in our stock,” Thao was quoted as saying in the report.

    According to Bloomberg, VietJet reportedly received shareholder approval in April to boost its foreign ownership limit to 49 percent from 30 percent.

    She told Bloomberg in an interview a year ago that she has plans to make VietJet a global airline. “We want to make VietJet the Emirates of Asia.”

    Air France and Vietnam Airlines are establishing a joint venture for their services between Paris Charles de Gaulle and both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

    The two SkyTeam carriers say in a joint statement that the arrangement, effective 1 November, will allow for better onward connections in Europe and Vietnam.

    “Our aim is to maintain and develop our position as European leader in this region with very strong growth potential,” states Air France chief executive Franck Terner.

    Via three hubs – Hanoi’s Noi Bai, Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat, and Paris CDG – passengers will be able to travel to 50 European destinations on Air France flights (compared with 14 today) and 20 Vietnamese destinations on the local flag carrier’s services.

    FlightGlobal schedules show that Vietnam Airlines and Air France are the only airlines operating direct services between Vietnam and France. Vietnam Airlines is the sole operator on the Hanoi-Paris route, conducting a six-times-weekly service with Airbus A350-900s.

    Both airlines fly thrice weekly on the Ho Chi Minh City-Paris route, with Air France operating Boeing 777-300ERs and Vietnam Airlines A350-900s.

    Schedules indicate that the two carriers already codeshare extensively. Air France places its code on 20 Vietnam Airlines services, including the Paris-Hanoi route. It also places its code on services from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to other Vietnamese cities, as well as to the Cambodian destinations of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.

    Vietnam Airlines, for its part, places its code on 30 Air France services, including the Paris-Ho Chi Minh City route. It also places its code on Air France services to destinations in France and Europe.
