VietJet Aviation Joint Stock Company (defendant/appellant) v FW Aviation (Holdings) 1 Ltd (claimant/respondent)
Thursday 30 October 2025
By Appellant’s Notice filed on 13 March 2025, the Appellant (Defendant below) VietJet Aviation Joint Stock Company, appeal the decision of Mr Justice Picken, sitting as a Judge of the High Court, judgment being delivered on 20 February 2025.
The underlying proceedings arise out of a dispute between the Respondent (“FWA”) and the Appellant (“VietJet”) concerning the financing structures for four Airbus A321 aircraft (the “Aircraft”). In March 2023, FWA obtained an interim injunction against VietJet which prohibited VietJet from “taking possession of or operating the Aircraft either directly or indirectly or otherwise interfering with the Claimant’s right to possession, custody and/or control of the Aircraft”. VietJet subsequently sent a number of letters to public authorities in Vietnam in relation to the Aircraft, and in particular the requirements for exporting them from Vietnam.
