Senior representatives from the French Consulate General attended the welcome ceremony, the 50th anniversary of Vietnam - France diplomatic relations.
The new aircraft was delivered on the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations and the 10th anniversary of the Vietnam-France Strategic Partnership. It was also used to celebrate the success of the Francophonie Summit in Paris, which gathered representatives from nearly 100 member countries. More especially, it’s right after Vietnam’s Party General Secretary and State President To Lam and French President Emmanuel Macron agreed to elevate the Vietnam - France relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.The new Vietjet aircraft bearing the image symbolizes the 50th anniversary of Vietnam - France diplomatic relations.

The image highlights the strong bilateral ties in culture, education, history, and economy. The symbol, with its white, blue, red, and yellow colors, prominently features the Eiffel Tower and the traditional Vietnamese Ao dai, standing out against the fuselage of Vietjet's new-generation aircraft, attracting all onlookers at Tan Son Nhat Airport.
On October 7, the new aircraft was officially handed over to Vietjet by Airbus at Orly Airport (Paris), under the witness of Party General Secretary and President To Lam. It rained both at the ceremony in Orly airport and upon the aircraft’s arrival at Tan Son Nhat, signaling good luck, plenty, and prosperity for the people of both nations.
In 2018, marking the 45th anniversary of Vietnam-France diplomatic relations, Vietjet aircraft bearing the commemorative symbol was also delivered under the witness of then-Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong. The aircraft spread its wings and made a strong impression on international friends.
The new aircraft, numbered VN-A539, is the 106th to join Vietjet’s vibrant fleet and the 80th one delivered by the leading aircraft manufacturer Airbus. Vietjet’s partnerships with French, German, UK, and other European entities have contributed to job creation in Europe and offered greater flying opportunities for passengers, fostering aviation, tourism, and economic development in various countries.
