Vietjet Air has announced that it has ordered an additional 44 GTF-powered Airbus A320neo family aircraft, including 24 A321neos and 20 A321XLRs, with Pratt & Whitney announced to provide the engine maintenance through a 12-year EngineWise service agreement.

This brings Vietjet Air’s total orders to 137 GTF-powered aircraft, and deliveries will start in July 2026.

Vietjet managing director Nguyen Thanh Son, said: “Vietjet values our relationship with Pratt & Whitney and its latest generation technology. The GTF engine is powering our growth with industry-leading operating economics and fuel efficiency of up to 20%. We continue to trust in the long-term, comprehensive and responsible partnership with Pratt & Whitney.”

Based in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, Vietjet received its first A321neo aircraft in 2018 and currently operates a fleet of 42 GTF-powered A321neo aircraft. Prior to this order, Vietjet committed to up to 93 aircraft of this type.

“Ten years ago, Vietjet joined the Pratt & Whitney GTF family and this selection demonstrates the airline’s continued confidence in the GTF engine,” said Rick Deurloo, president of commercial engines at Pratt & Whitney. “With this latest order, Vietjet will further realize the benefits of the most efficient engine for single-aisle aircraft and our ongoing commitment to enabling their network expansion.”
