Vietjet finalises nation's biggest order for 100 Boeing 737s aircraft
VIETJET Aviation Joint Stock Company has ordered 100 Boeing 737 MAX 200 aircraft valued at US$11.3 billion at current list prices.
The historic signing at the Presidential Palace in Hanoi was witnessed by Vietnam's President Tran Dai Quang and US President Barack Obama.
The aircraft will be delivered from 2019 through 2023 to serve both domestic and regional routes.
"Vietjet is efficiently operating a fleet of narrow body airplanes. Our investment in a fleet of B737 MAX 200 will accommodate our strategy of growing Vietjet's coming international route network including long haul flights," said Vietjet president and CEO Nguyen Th' Phuong Thao.
"Through this agreement, Vietjet will contribute increasing bilateral trade turnover between Vietnam and the United States, as well as the integration and development of the aviation industry in Vietnam."
The new single-aisle aircraft offers 20 per cent lower fuel use than the first next-generation B737s and the lowest operating costs in its class. To date, the 737 MAX has accumulated 3,098 orders from 65 customers worldwide.
