Thai VietJet Air Acquires First Aircraft
20th Oct 2014
The soon-to-be-launched budget carrier is in the thick of things in preparation for the commencement of its commercial operations.
Part of its preparation is the acquisition of aircraft to build up its fleet. Recently, Thai VietJet Air has taken delivery of a medium-range single-aisle A320 aircraft which it leased from its parent company, VietJet Air.
The leased aircraft touched down at Suvarnabhumi International Airport on October 16 with a simple rite.
Thai VietJet Air is the result of a joint venture between Kannithi Aviation of Thailand and VietJet Air of Vietnam.
Kannithi Aviation owns Kan Air which operates charter and scheduled flights across the northern region of Thailand. VietJet Air, meanwhile, is the largest privately-owned carrier and the only budget airline based in Vietnam.
The newly-formed low-cost carrier is currently awaiting certification from the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) which is the final stage before it can start commercial operations.
The airline will initially launch twin direct flights simultaneously from Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi Airport) to the resort cities of Phuket and Chiang Mai.
