Vietnam Airlines on Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Airbus for ten more A350-900 aircraft. The aircraft will be used by the airline on non-stop flights to the US, beginning with services between Ho Chi Minh City and Los Angeles.
The MOU was signed in Hanoi today by Duong Tri Thanh, President and CEO of Vietnam Airlines, and Fabrice Bregier, Airbus President & CEO. The signing took place during the state visit to Vietnam of Francois Hollande, President of France, and was witnessed by Hollande and Tran Dai Quang, President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam; according to airbus.com.
Vietnam Airlines last year became the first airline in East Asia and the second in the world to operate the A350 XWB. The carrier already has four aircraft in service, with another ten on firm order for future delivery.
The additional ten aircraft covered by today's MOU will enable Vietnam Airlines to operate non-stop to the US West Coast, carrying 305 passengers in a three class premium layout.
