Vietjet has signed a MOU with Airbus for the
purchase of 20 A330-900 aircraft.
The new aircraft would be used to replace the
carrier’s current fleet of seven leased A330-300 widebody aircraft
powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines, and enable network
expansion.
Powered by the latest generation Rolls-Royce Trent
7000 engines, the A330-900 is capable of flying 7,200 nm / 13,300
km non-stop.
The A330neo/Trent 7000 combination delivers a 14%
better fuel burn per seat, whilst significantly lowering emissions
compared to older generation aircraft and engines. The reduction
in emissions will allow the airline to avoid more than one hundred
thousand tons of CO2 over the lifetime of each aircraft.
