Developments: 2. Vietnamese airline VietJet is engaged in a legal battle in the United Kingdom with FW Aviation, an aircraft leasing company controlled by FitzWalter Capital. The dispute involves approximately US$250 million in unpaid lease agreements and termination payments for four Airbus A321 aircraft, dating back to October 2021. In October 2026, the United Kingdom High Court ordered a global freeze on VietJet’s assets after Justice Pushpinder Saini identified a “risk of dissipation.” The court’s measures included restrictions on dealing with assets outside Vietnam, a freeze on aircraft orders, and the appointment of receivers to manage undelivered aircraft. These actions followed concerns that the airline might transfer the value of its aircraft order book to a related company to avoid enforcing judgments. By November 2026, reports indicated that VietJet had arranged funds and intended to reach a settlement by November 13, 2026. Resolving the matter is considered critical for the airline’s upcoming delivery of Airbus A330neo and A321XLR aircraft. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-08: VietJet faces UK court over $250 million aircraft debt dispute VietJet is working to settle a $250 million debt dispute with FW Aviation in a UK court to lift asset freezes and receive new aircraft orders. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietjet-faces-uk-court-over-250-million-aircraft-debt-dispute ### 2026-10-19: VietJet faces global asset freeze amid US$250 million debt dispute A UK High Court has ordered a global asset freeze on VietJet following a US$250 million debt dispute with aircraft lessor FW Aviation, potentially stalling the airline's Australian expansion. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietjet-faces-global-asset-freeze-amid-us250-million-debt-dispute --- Cite as: VietJet aircraft lease debt dispute.
