Vietjet "joins hands" with Qazaq Air to establish new airline

On May 6, a Vietjet representative said that the above event took place solemnly with the participation of General Secretary To Lam within the framework of a State visit to the Republic of Kazakhstan.

At the event, the Vietnamese Ministry of Finance granted an overseas investment certificate to Aviation Holdings, a member of Vietjet, to carry out a transaction to purchase strategic shares in Qazaq Air.

This is part of Vietjet's international expansion strategy, contributing to strengthening the bilateral relationship between Vietnam and Kazakhstan in aviation, economic and cultural cooperation in general, while opening a new chapter for the Central Asian aviation industry.

Vietjet representative said that under the cooperation agreement, the two sides will jointly develop and operate Vietjet Qazaqstan, formerly known as Qazaq Air. Vietjet Qazaqstan is a new generation low-cost airline, expected to become a strategic aviation bridge between Kazakhstan and Vietnam, Southeast Asia and international aviation centers.

Vietjet will serve the growing travel needs of Kazakhstani people, thereby promoting tourism, trade, and logistics across Asia, while contributing to local socio-economic development with thousands of high-quality jobs.

Also at the event, Vietjet Qazaqstan and Boeing Corporation signed a Framework Agreement on technical support for Vietjet Qazaqstan's Boeing 737 fleet.

Specifically, Boeing will provide comprehensive support from providing technical software, spare parts, pilot and engineer training, to aircraft maintenance and upgrades to ensure the fleet operates efficiently and safely.

Vietjet Qazaqstan is expected to operate at least 20 Boeing 737 aircraft, strongly expanding its domestic and international flight network. The airline will apply a modern operating model, digital management and advanced personnel training system with technical and operational support from Vietjet.

With modern aviation operations experience, advanced technology and a global network of partners, Vietjet invests in Kazakhstan with the pioneering role of a Vietnamese Group in promoting multilateral cooperation, technology transfer, supporting human resource training, modernizing infrastructure and enhancing the competitiveness of the regional aviation industry.

This cooperation model not only brings economic efficiency but also serves national interests, enhances regional connectivity and contributes to common prosperity.

Previously, Vietjet Thailand has become one of the leading low-cost airlines in Thailand after a period of effective operation.

Vietjet is known as the national airline. Every step of development, every new market that Vietjet participates in is aimed at promoting connectivity, supporting socio-economic development, and creating long-term sustainable value for people, countries and regions.

That is what has created the stature of a pioneering airline - representing the image of a dynamic, integrated and responsible Vietnam in the international arena.
