Vietnam’s Vietstar Airlines receives AOC
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has granted an AOC for startup Vietstar Airlines. Vietstar Airlines was incorporated in 2011 by state-owned companies and the Vietnamese air force, with a registered capital of VND400b (US$17.6m); the carrier has been providing ground-handling services, aircraft maintenance and pilot training ever since. The carrier will operate a mixed fleet of Embraer Legacy 600 and Beechcraft King Air B300 aircraft and has set a domestic target of 500,000 passengers and 32,000 tonnes of cargo by the first year. Vietstar’s commercial director Trinh Quoc Cuong said in March 2018 that it plans to begin operation with 5 leased Boeing 737-800s, and expand to 15 aircraft by 2020. The move beats conglomerate Vingroup’s plan to launch Vinpearl Air. <br/>
