Vietnam low-cost carrier Vietjet has taken delivery of its first widebody aircraft, a leased Airbus A330-300. It was delivered new to AirAsia X in December 2008, and served with the Malaysian long-haul, low-cost carrier until it was parked in April 2020. “We are delighted to mark our 10th anniversary today with an A330 aircraft’s arrival, which will help Vietjet grow significantly in operation capacity and international footprint expansion,” says Vietjet managing director Dinh Viet Phuong. The carrier will operate to Moscow from three Vietnamese cities: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Nha Trang. The Ho Chi Minh City-Hanoi-Moscow service will start on 3 July; the Nha Trang-Moscow service will start on 10 July.
