The start-up airline took delivery of its first A321 aircraft in the V Bear livery in October. Currently, the budget carrier has one A321 aircraft in an all economy configuration and expects to expand its fleet to a total of five planes by 2015.
In addition, V Air also revealed the plan to launch a chartered flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia on Jan. 6 and start operating its second regular route to Chiang Mai, Thailand on January 7, 2015.

V Air is the second budget airline in Taiwan after Tigerair Taiwan (IT) - a joint venture between China Airlines (CI) and Singapore's Tiger Airways (TR), which made its maiden flight to Singapore in September.
