Vietnamese low-cost carrier Vietjet has placed a firm order for 20 Airbus A321XLRs, making it among the first airlines to operate the type when it enters service in 2023. Airbus said the deal includes the conversion of five A321neos from an existing backlog, comprising solely A321neos. The latest deal, worth $2.8 billion at list prices, bumps Vietjet’s order with Airbus to 186 aircraft, of which 60 have been delivered.
