Vietjet has ordered 100 A321neo aircraft as part of a major purchasing blitz across the UK aerospace sector.
The aircraft will be made with wings that are designed in Bristol, England and manufactured in Broughton, Wales.
The announcement of the deal follows a meeting between British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Vietnamese General Secretary To Lam.
It also follows Vietjet’s announcement of a landmark order of Trent 7000 engines and maintenance support from Rolls-Royce.
As covered by Airline Economics, Vietjet has signed a $3.8bn deal for 92 Trent 7000 engines and comprehensive maintenance support through Roll-Royce' TotalCare.
The Trent 7000 engines will power Vietjet’s upcoming fleet of 40 A330neo aircraft, enabling the low-cost carrier to operate non-stop services to Europe in future.
