Hanoi (VNA) - To meet the increasing travel demand during the upcoming Lunar New Year (Tet), Vietnam Airlines has received three new aircraft in December, which will provide over 100,000 seats for the peak travel period in the largest festival in a year of the Vietnamese people.
Specifically, the carrier received an Airbus A320neo on December 7, and a Boeing 787-10 on December 8, and is expected to receive another Airbus A320neo by the end of this month.
The new aircraft will bring the total fleet of the national flag carrier to 103 aircraft in 2024. Specifically, the airline's wide-body fleet, which includes Boeing 787-9, Boeing 787-10, and Airbus A350, now consists of 31 aircraft.
A representative of Vietnam Airlines stated that the newly received Boeing 787-10 will primarily be used on domestic and Northeast Asia routes, while the Airbus A320neo aircraft will serve only on domestic flights.
The addition of these aircraft at the end of the year will not only help the carrier meet the increasing travel demand during the holiday season but also reaffirms its commitment to enhancing service quality, and providing passengers with a comfortable and modern travel experience./.
