Vietjet to start BNE early 2019
 

This was announced on Friday by Vietjet vice president:).Today during a interview at Routes Asia at BNE 4-5 flights a week with A321NEOLR.
They ordered 8 of these LR models just last week to do the run.

Ha, good luck. That’s if CASA will allow them.

CASA still allow AirAsia X, AirAsia Indonesia and they didn't have a problem with Indonesia AirAsiaX (which the Indonesian DGAC disallowed) and Malindo. I don't see them disallowing anyone.

Is there any specific reason why CASA wouldn't / shouldn't allow Vietjet?

I could go into a lot of detail but probably best I don’t.

Maybe see what a search of safety incidences involving their aircraft pulls up.

6 out of 7 rating.No dramas here.:)

There is a perception, particularly in western countries that low cost Asian carriers compromise on safety but Vietjet scores a very respectable 6/7 on AirlineRatings.com’s safety rating system, the equal highest rating in Vietnam. In 2015 Vietjet received its IATA
Vietjet’s technical reliability ratio for 2017’s first quarter is also recorded at an impressive 99.59%

Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certificate from the International Air Transportation Association (IATA) for its outstanding operational standards. IOSA certification is a confirmation of the commitment of an airline to deliver safe operations based on the principles stated in the IOSA Standards Manual. Vietjet’s technical reliability ratio for 2017’s first quarter is also recorded at 99.59%, an increase of 0.02% against 2016’s, a highly impressive rate.

The airline today operates a fleet of 45 A320 and A321 aircraft with an average age of only 3.28 years.

Landing at the wrong airport is serious, but only happened once and it was a while ago now, I would fly them before I flew any Indonesian airline.
