Boeing signs $15.7 billion Vietnam orders on Trump’s visit
Vietnam Airlines is considering purchasing as many as 100 737 Max planes this year to replace its ageing fleet of Airbus SE single-aisle jets
Vietnam’s Bamboo Airways and VietJet Aviation JSC signed deals to buy 110 aircraft from Boeing Co during President Donald Trumps visit to Hanoi for a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
Bamboo agreed to purchase 10 787-9 Dreamliners worth about $3 billion, while VietJets order is for 100 737 Max planes valued at $12.7 billion, Boeing said on Wednesday.
VietJets 100-plane commitment was unveiled at the Farnborough air show last year. The accords were signed in the presence of Trump and Vietnam’s President Nguyen Phu Trong.
