The ceremony at Boeing’s Delivery Centre in Seattle was attended by Vietnam’s President Luong Cuong, senior Vietnamese and U.S. officials, and key industry partners.
The handover coincides with the 30th anniversary of U.S.–Vietnam diplomatic relations and represents a significant step in the growing partnership between Vietjet and Boeing.
The new aircraft, along with hundreds more to be delivered in the coming years, will be deployed on Vietjet’s high-demand regional markets, enhancing the travel experience for millions of passengers.
It also underscores the airline’s commitment to expanding its international network while contributing to the sustainable development of the aviation industry regionally and globally.
“The first Boeing aircraft received under this historic order is the result of nearly a decade of partnership between Boeing and Vietjet,” said Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Chairwoman of Vietjet.
“It marks the start of hundreds more deliveries in the years ahead. This milestone strengthens bilateral trade, symbolises the U.S.–Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, and reflects our shared ambition to reach new heights in aviation.”
