The new aircraft, registered VN-A129, has a capacity of 228 seats and is expected to be put into operation early next month. The narrow-body aircraft is popular globally, with high operating efficiency, fuel economy, suitable for both domestic routes and short- to medium-haul international routes.

Do Vinh Quang, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vietravel Airlines, said owning an Airbus A321 aircraft is an affirmation of the financial strength and operational capacity of Vietravel Airlines as well as its strong determination to become an airline with its own identity and to be trusted by customers and recognized by the market.
