VietJet commits to new aircraft despite turbulence

Executives from VietJet Thailand attend the Thailand-Vietnam Business Forum 2026 as the airline celebrates 10 years of operations in Thailand.

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.
