Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam Airlines has recently received its first Airbus A320neo as part of the national flag carrier’s efforts to rejuvenate its fleet.
This is the first among the three A320neo planes, each seating 182 passengers, to be delivered to the carrier this year.
By adding the A320neo family, the airline affirms the resolve to leverage its operation capacity to meet passengers’ increasing demand, particularly during the peak summer travel season.
The new aircraft will help Vietnam Airlines provide an additional nearly 40,000 seats during the summer peak, and some 300,000 in the second half of the year.
They will be used on such domestic routes as Hanoi - Da Lat, Hanoi - Phu Quoc, Ho Chi Minh City - Thanh Hoa and Ho Chi Minh City - Chu Lai.
The modern narrow-body aircraft is equipped with a new-generation engine that helps save 16% of fuel consumption, reduce noise by 75% and cut some 50% of toxic exhaust compared to previous models.
Vietnam Airlines stressed that it has made unceasing efforts to improve its services and fleet, hoping to bring passengers safety and comfort.
💝 The carrier will add large-body Boeing 787-10, the biggest passenger aircraft used in Vietnam at present, to its fleet in the coming time./.
