The airline’s A330s will fly to an entire host of nations in the approaching months, including Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, China, South Korea, Japan, India, Kazakhstan and Australia. The latter will probably be seeing quite a bit more of Vietjet’s A330s by the top of the yr – the carrier recently announced it might be adding 70% more A330 Australian capability from December, operating 34 weekly flights to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Vietjet teased that more countries could welcome its widebodies within the foreseeable future.
The meaning behind the livery
The livery features Vietjet’s recognizable red and yellow but with added tourism symbols and messages. These include a sustainability slogan reading “”, together with flower petals towards the front of the fuselage.
The airline has previously painted this livery on its A320 and A321 fleet as a part of a sponsorship agreement with the Vietnam National Authority of Tourism. Vietjet says the thought is to speak “the country’s friendly and hospitable nature” and introduce Vietnam to the world.

Vietjet has launched several tourism initiatives in recent months to stimulate travel to Vietnam. This includes gifting away hundreds of thousands of free tickets (excluding taxes and charges after all) across its entire international network from May twenty fourth to May twenty sixth, before once more offering $0 fares earlier this month to have fun the resumption of Hong Kong flights – that is on top of several similar giveaways launched earlier within the yr.
On top of all this, Vietjet passengers can enjoy complimentary travel insurance across its entire domestic and international network – travelers booking with the airline will robotically be given comprehensive Sky Care travel insurance coverage.
Fleet expansion plans
Vietjet will expand its fleet in the approaching months, including more widebody additions. The all-Airbus airline currently operates seven A330s and can welcome two more by the top of 2023.
