The logo features the image of a Vietnamese woman wearing a Non La (palm-leaf conical hat) and a red Ao Dai (traditional silk dress) holding hands with a French woman wearing a beret and a blue-white plaid dress.

Speaking at the ceremony, VietJet Air Managing Director Luu Duc Khanh said that the aircraft was in recognition of VietJet Air’s contributions to promoting Vietnam’s image to the international community. “Standing high from the profoundly comprehensive collaborations among Vietjet and French partners, we will contribute more to the development of economic-cultural-trade cooperation between the two countries”, he added.
