During the event, Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance granted a Foreign Investment Registration Certificate to Aviation Holdings, a subsidiary of Vietjet, authorizing its acquisition of a strategic equity stake in Qazaq Air. This move marks a key milestone in Vietjet’s international expansion strategy and aims to deepen bilateral ties between Vietnam and Kazakhstan across aviation, economic, and cultural domains, while opening a new chapter for the aviation industry in Central Asia.

Under this partnership, the two parties will jointly develop and operate Vietjet Qazaqstan, building on the existing Qazaq Air platform. As a new-age low-cost airline, Vietjet Qazaqstan is expected to become a strategic air bridge connecting Kazakhstan with Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and global aviation hubs. The airline will meet the growing travel demand in Kazakhstan while boosting cross-border tourism, trade, and logistics throughout Asia. It also aims to support local socio-economic growth through the creation of thousands of high-quality jobs.

Also at the event, Vietjet Qazaqstan and Boeing signed a Customer Services General Terms Agreement to support the future Boeing 737 fleet operated by Vietjet Qazaqstan. Under the agreement, Boeing will provide comprehensive services including software solutions, spare parts supply, technical assistance, as well as training programs for pilots and engineers. The partnership also covers aircraft modifications and upgrades to ensure efficient and safe operations.

Vietjet Qazaqstan is set to operate a fleet of at least 20 Boeing 737 aircraft, enabling a strong expansion of its domestic and international route network. The airline will adopt modern operating models, digital management systems, and advanced training programs for its workforce, with ongoing technical and operational support from Vietjet.

Vietjet will bring deep expertise in modern airline operations, cutting-edge technology, and a global partner network. Its investment in Kazakhstan underscores the pioneering role of a Vietnamese corporation in fostering multilateral cooperation, transferring technology, supporting human resource development, modernizing infrastructure, and enhancing the competitiveness of the regional aviation industry. This collaborative model not only delivers strong economic values but also serves national interests, strengthens regional connectivity, and contributes to shared prosperity.

This follows the successful development of Vietjet Thailand, which has grown to become one of Thailand’s leading low-cost carriers through its efficient and effective operations.

By consistently upholding its national mission and commitment to social responsibility, Vietjet has been widely regarded as the people’s airline. Every step in its expansion and every new market it enters reflects a steadfast commitment to enhancing connectivity, driving socio-economic development, and creating enduring values for individuals, nations, and entire regions. This ethos defines Vietjet as a pioneering carrier—representing a dynamic, globally engaged, and responsible Vietnam on the world stage.
