Cambodian Airways A321 & Vietstar Sale

in 2001, following the september 11 attacks and the knock on effects that it had on the aviation industry. vietstar airlines; backed by larger chinese airline zhujiang airlines as well as numerous private investors, took on a 49% stake in cambodian airways from the cambodian government in order to keep the airline from going bust. codeshare flights were now available to vietstar and zhujiang airlines' vast network of flights.

in april of 2020, as the major global travel crisis began as a onset of covid-19, vietstar sold their 49% stake in the airline to an undisclosed buyer. as a result, two of the three A321s in cambodian's fleet were returned to vietstar. both wore unique liveries with registration VN-A454 (ex. XU-351) being painted into a special livery promoting domestic tourism to phu quoc island as international travel from vietnam was now prohibited. as of august 2021, both aircraft have returned to the normal vietstar livery and are parked in Da Nang due to the domestic outbreak of covid-19.
