Vietjet and Airways Aviation have signed a strategic partnership to train high-quality personnel for the global aviation industry.
Under the agreement, Airways Aviation will collaborate with Vietjet Aviation Academy (VJAA) to implement international-standard pilot training programmes in Europe. These will comply with regulations from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV). The specialised MPL (Multi-crew Pilot Licence) and CPL (Commercial Pilot Licence) courses aim to develop a new generation of globally qualified pilots to support Vietjet’s global expansion and sustainable growth strategy.
The airline is preparing for expansion into major markets in Europe and the Americas.
In May this year, the airline ordered 20 more A330neos, doubling its order for the Airbus widebodies to 40 aircraft. The airline currently has around eight A330s after taking delivery of its latest in September. The airline has an all-Airbus fleet of over 120 aircraft.
