100th aircraft for Vietnam Airlines
Vietnam Airlines, which already owns the second-largest wide-body A350 (14) and B787 (11 B787-9) fleet in Southeast Asia, was joined by the deputy prime minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Truong Hoa Binh for the welcoming ceremony of the 100th aircraft operated by Vietnam Airlines. The 100th aircraft is the third out of eight B787-10’s to be delivered between August 2019 and March 2021.
Pham Ngoc Minh, chairman of the board of directors: "Delivery of our 100th aircraft has affirmed our leading position coupled with owning the largest fleet in Vietnam and ranking among the top Asia - Pacific airlines. This opens up new development opportunities for Vietnam Airlines on its quest to leverage Vietnam’s aviation industry among the major airlines in the region and the world." (ah)
