AWAS agrees to lease a fourth new A320 passenger aircraft to Vietjet

AWAS announced today that it has agreed to lease a fourth new A320 aircraft to Vietjet from its new order pipeline to deliver in 2014.

Vietjet is an expanding low cost carrier operating a modern, all-A320 fleet from Vietnam’s three major economic and tourist hubs – Ho Chi Minh City, Danang and Hanoi, and is the first private airline in Vietnam to be licensed to operate domestic and international flights.

This new sharklet-equipped A320 aircraft will assist Vietjet with their plans to expand into ASEAN and North Asian networks which will include regional destinations such as Busan, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Singapore, Taipei Japan, Hongkong and China. The advanced end-of-wing Sharklet system has been developed by Airbus to provide airlines with significant fuel savings along with several higher performance and lower maintenance benefits.
