Despite the ongoing Middle East war and unfavourable market conditions, VietJet Thailand remains committed to replacing its fleet with 50 new Boeing 737-8 planes over three years, while accelerating plans to phase out its existing Airbus jets to streamline costs.
The airline has also hinted at becoming the first low-cost carrier in Thailand to fly to Europe if it takes delivery of wide-body Airbus A330neo planes from VietJet Air, which recently announced a new direct route from Hanoi to Prague, starting in October this year.
