| The signing ceremony between FLC and Boeing |
The signing ceremony took place at the US Chamber of Commerce, witnessed by Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue.
The trade agreement, worth up to US$5.6 billion, is the Vietnamese carrier’s first deal to purchase wide-body aircraft.
FLC Group Chairman Trinh Van Quyet said the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner will serve long international air routes, adding that the airline’s long-term goal is to connect Vietnam with major markets in Asia, Europe and North America.
In May 2017, FLC Group announced the decision to establish the Viet Bamboo Airways Company, with charter capital of VND700 billion (US$31.4 million).
Currently, Bamboo Airways is planning routes while waiting for Government approval of its operation licence. FLC plans to serve 24 domestic and 16 international routes.
In March, FLC Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus to buy up to 24 A321neo aircraft for Bamboo Airways.
