Vietnam Airlines and Batik Air to begin A321neo operations in 2018
Vietnam Airlines is the only other Southeast Asian flag carrier that has ordered A321neos. However, Vietnam Airlines plans to configure all its A321neos in a high density 203-seat configuration, with only eight business class seats. The airline plans to use its new A321neo fleet to increase capacity on regional routes within East Asia – following a similar strategy as the LCC operators.
See related report: Vietnam Airlines to accelerate international expansion in 2018, with focus on North Asia
Batik Air, a full service subsidiary of the Lion Group, is evaluating the use of A321neos for longer routes, including from Bali to Australia and North Asia. However, the potential Batik routes are shorter than the routes being planned by PAL, and under some definitions will not be considered long haul. For example, Manila-Melbourne has a scheduled block time of slightly more than eight hours, compared to approximately six hours for Bali-Melbourne.
Ultimately, long haul narrowbody operations by Southeast Asian airlines could be limited to four routes from PAL and a small number of routes from Batik.

Vietnam Airlines & Bangkok Airways respond to rapid Thailand Vietnam LCC growth with new partnership
Bangkok Airways and Vietnam Airlines are planning a new codeshare partnership which will significantly bolster their position in the fast growing, but intensely competitive, Thailand-Vietnam market. The two airlines are ideal partners as Bangkok Airways is expanding in Vietnam by focusing on niche secondary routes, while Vietnam Airlines only serves the core Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh to Bangkok routes.
Capacity in the Thailand-Vietnam market has increased by approximately 30% over the past year, and has nearly doubled over the past five years, driven by rapid LCC expansion. Five LCC groups now serve the Thailand-Vietnam market, compared to just one five years ago. Thailand-Vietnam has become the first and only country pair within Southeast Asia with five LCC competitors.
VietJet has particularly emerged as a strong competitor, using its Thai affiliate, Thai Vietjet to launch new Thailand-Vietnam routes and offer domestic connections beyond Bangkok. Rival Vietnam Airlines will be able to offer its passengers similar connections under the new Bangkok Airways partnerships, as well as a nonstop product on Bangkok Airways’ growing network of niche Thailand-Vietnam routes.

In June 2017, Vietnam Airlines predicts high growth in the aviation market this year with 23.6 million international visitors and 31.6 million domestic visitors expected this year. However, the carrier said that with the budget carriers continuously expanding their operations on both international and national routes, the competition had intensified.In the domestic market, the firm supply was up 32 per cent in 2016 compared with 2015, but the purchasing power increased only 14 per cent, bringing down the average revenue of all airlines by 12 per cent.Meanwhile, the budget airlines expanded their operation to other regions, including Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, marking a 14 per cent rise in the market share from 8 per cent in 2015.Vietnam Airlines said the overload at airports, especially at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in HCM City, had resulted in an increase of 1,392 flying hours, incurring an additional cost of VND188 billion to the airline.The firm predicted high growth in the aviation market this year with 23.6 million international visitors and 31.6 million domestic visitors, a 14.7 per cent and 12.1 per cent increase, respectively, when compared with last year.
