SINGAPORE, 9 MAY 2025: Vietjet and Qazaq Air have partnered to launch Vietjet Qazaqstan, a new low-cost airline to strengthen air connectivity between Kazakhstan, Vietnam and destinations in Southeast Asia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vietjet confirmed the move during this week\u2019s Kazakhstan\u2013Vietnam Business Roundtable, noting that the venture will involve acquiring a strategic stake in Qazaq Air. The airline operates domestic flights in Kazakhstan and to just three international destinations, all in Russia. (Yekaterinburg, Omsk and Novosibirsk).<\/p>\n\n\n

No details on the timeline for rebranding, but the press statement released by Vietjet this week anticipates the joint venture will operate \u201cat least 20 Boeing 737 aircraft under a support agreement with Boeing for training, maintenance, and parts.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the event, Vietnam\u2019s Ministry of Finance granted a Foreign Investment Registration Certificate to Aviation Holdings, a subsidiary of Vietjet, authorising its acquisition of an equity stake in Qazaq Air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vietjet will use the JV to expand its international expansion and strengthen bilateral ties between Vietnam and Kazakhstan in aviation, trade, and cultural exchange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This move marks a key milestone in Vietjet\u2019s international expansion strategy. It 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The launch of Vietjet Qazaqstan follows the successful development of Vietjet Thailand, now one of Thailand\u2019s leading low-cost carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Qazao Air is an inter-regional airline established by Samruk-Kazyna JSC to serve destinations in Kazakhstan and cities in neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Certified by IOSA international industrial safety standards since 2018, the airline is a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The airline is headquartered at Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, flying a fleet of turboprop aircraft \u2014 De Havilland Dash-8-Q400NG (formerly known as Bombardier Q400). <\/p>\n\n\n
