Q2 of 2025 marked a new milestone in Vietjet's strategy to expand its international network. The airline launched direct flights from Nha Trang to three major cities in Russia: Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, and Blagoveshchensk.

In China, the airline introduced new services linking Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai, addressing the growing demand for travel and trade. Vietjet also expanded its footprint in India, Japan, Singapore and increased domestic flight frequencies in selected airports.

Investment in modern fleet

In addition to its strong performance, Vietjet advanced its fleet development with major aircraft investments. During French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Vietnam, the airline ordered 20 additional A330neo widebodies from Airbus, raising its total to 40, the largest A330neo order globally.

At the 2025 Paris Air Show, Vietjet also signed the show’s largest deal with an order for 100 A321neo aircraft and 50 purchase options, ranking it among the world’s top 10 airlines by order volume.

Ground self-service expansion, Long Thanh project win

Vietjet has extended its in-house ground handling operation to major Vietnamese airports, enhancing service quality, operational efficiency, and passenger experience. The airline also secured government approval for its winning bid to invest in and build Aircraft Maintenance Facilities No.3 and No.4 at Long Thanh International Airport – key components of a national maintenance hub for the airport’s first phase.

Vietjet posted strong performance in H1 of 2025, achieving 78% and 75% of its full-year separate and consolidated pre-tax profit targets, respectively. These strategic milestones strengthen Vietjet’s internal capabilities and position the airline for continued growth and sustainable development in the second half of 2025./.
