Vietnam's Bamboo Airways to buy 50 Airbus A321neo planes
Bamboo Airways will buy 50 Airbus A321Neo planes, its chairman Trinh Van Quyet said Thursday, as the carrier expands and begins international flights. The first of the planes will be delivered in 2022, Quyet said. He declined to disclose the value of the deal, which was signed Thursday. Quyet said the agreement includes the 24 planes covered by a memorandum of understanding signed with Airbus last March. "We have chosen Airbus as the supplier of narrow-bodied planes, while using wide-bodied aircraft from Boeing," Quyet said. Bamboo Airways plans to launch its first international flights late next month, initially to Japan, Singapore and South Korea, he said. The airline, which made its maiden flight in January, also plans to launch non-stop flights to the US late this year or early next. <br/>
