On 15 October, the UK Commercial Court granted FitzWalter Aviation a worldwide freezing order as it seeks to recover about US$250 million in judgments over VietJet’s 2021 termination of leases on four Airbus A321s. The court found a risk that value tied to VietJet’s aircraft orderbook—including pre-delivery payment refunds and potential sale-and-leaseback profits—could be dissipated through transfers to a Cayman entity. It also cited VietJet’s decision to stop flying nine aircraft to Singapore after a local seizure order as evidence of anti-enforcement steps. VietJet had paid only US$2 million toward the debt.
