Some pictures about VJ's first A333 interior.
Simply enough, everything from AAX was kept, even with the Flat-Bed C-seats and the "Hot seat" branding.

The only thing that was changed was the aircraft livery, all the interiors remain AAX. IF!!!! the A330 experiment works out it will have a new interior fitted or be cycled out as new/newer aircraft are delivered.

Do you know how long will VJ lease this airframe?

If they make money with the A330 these three will stay and be joined by other used A333. If it’s very successful they will get the A339 either through a new order or convert their existing Airbus orders.

If they don’t make money they will be gone with in 12 months.

Slightly annoying for the OCD that a lot of us have, but it's a functional A330 with a good layout for what VJ needs. People won't care if there's another logo as long as the aircraft gets them where they need to at low cost and with reasonable punctuality (har har). I hope it works out, their competition uses widebodies and (for VN at least) been pretty successful, so this is an easy way for them to find out if it works for them.

Spoke with a friend who travelled SGN-HAN on this aircraft (VN-A811), he said no sign of any AAX branding - new leather seat covers in economy and a very full flight! No pics unfortunately.
