Vietjet plans to establish a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility in Laos, creating up to 2,500 new jobs in the aviation sector. Vietjet Thailand operated its first flight with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), aiming to reduce CO2 emissions by 153,000 tons by 2030. The airline aims to use 1% SAF by 2026 and 5% by 2030, aligning with Thailand's goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Last week, the Vietjet Group was active on two fronts: announcing plans for a new MRO facility in Laos and operating its first flight with SAF between Bangkok and Da Nang in Vietnam.
On July 11, Vietjet announced plans to establish the airline's MRO facility in Laos and to work with the Laos Department of Civil Aviation (DCAL) to expand air transport activities and world-class training for the new workforce. The announcement took place in Vientiane in the presence of Vietnamese President To Lam, Laos President Thongloun Sisoulith, and other high-ranking dignitaries.
