Vietnam Airlines Finalizes Order for 50 Boeing 737 MAX Airplanes

Vietnam Airlines has finalized an order for 50 Boeing 737 MAX airplanes, marking its first single-aisle order from Boeing. This investment aims to modernize the airline’s fleet, enhance operational performance, and expand its short- and medium-haul network within Southeast Asia, anticipating a doubling of annual passengers in Vietnam over the next decade. The 737 MAX aircraft will complement Vietnam Airlines’ existing 787 Dreamliner fleet, supporting the airline’s goal of becoming a five-star international airline by 2030, while also improving fuel efficiency.
