AWAS announced today that it has delivered to Vietjet the second of two planned new A320 passenger aircraft in 2016 to assist with the airlines’ rapid growth. AWAS has provided a financing solution for these two aircraft and has placed them on long- term leases with the airline.

This marks the fourth transaction between the parties for a total of eight new passenger aircraft, a mix of A320s and A321s sourced from both VietJet’s and AWAS’ direct order pipeline.

Vietjet is an expanding low cost carrier operating a modern, all-A320 family 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.
