Vietnam’s Vietjet has officially joined hands with Kazakhstan’s Qazaq Air to launch a new low-cost airline – Vietjet Qazaqstan – to improve regional connectivity and unlock new economic opportunities across Asia. The announcement came during the Vietnamese General Secretary To Lam’s state visit to Kazakhstan, highlighting the strengthening diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Vietjet Qazaqstan Strengthens Regional Ties
Vietjet Qazaqstan marks a strategic move for both Vietjet and Qazaq Air. Backed by Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance, Vietjet’s Aviation Holdings has acquired a strategic equity stake in Qazaq Air. The two carriers will jointly develop and operate Vietjet Qazaqstan, which will function as a new-age low-cost airline to boost trade, tourism, and logistics across Central and Southeast Asia.
With this joint venture, Vietjet reaffirms its position as a pioneer in bringing affordable air travel to wider regions. Vietjet Qazaqstan is expected to operate with a modern fleet, adopt digital management systems, and follow global standards in crew training and safety.
