Looks like they're confident about revenue growth:
The airline placed a firm order for 63 jets and 30 purchase options and will lease the remainder, VietJetAir officials said at a signing ceremony with Airbus at the Singapore Airshow on Tuesday.
The purchase agreement covers firm orders for 42 A320neo, 14 A320ceo and seven A321ceo.
Last year, privately owned VietJetAir and Airbus agreed a provisional order for the 100 jets but the deal did not show up in the order book of Airbus in its 2013 data.
(“The message is clear. This is where the action will be,” said Fabrice Bregier, president and CEO of Airbus.
The company forecasts the region will need some 11,000 aircraft worth more than $1.8 trillion over the next 20 years.)
