Vietjet delivered the airliner deal of the second day at the Paris Air Show when it signed a memorandum of understanding with Airbus covering orders for 100 A321neo narrowbodies, with options for another 50 of the airliners. The Vietnamese carrier’s CEO, Dinh Viet Phuong, was at Le Bourget to sign the agreement with Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus’s executive v-p for commercial aircraft sales.

The airline, which already has a fleet of more than 100 Airbus jets, recently placed an additional order for A330neo widebodies. “Together, the A321neo and A330neo will be perfect partners for Vietjet to continue to spread its wings, efficiently matching capacity more closely to demand across its network,” de Saint-Exupéry said.
