Vietnam Airlines reportedly signs MOU for four A380s

Friday November 13, 2009

Vietnam Airlines has signed an MOU for four A380s, VN and EADS officials told reporters in Hanoi.

EADS VP Marwan Lahoud said VN is the first new A380 customer since 2006 and that the order was worth $800 million-$1.2 billion, according to Agence France Presse.

VN CEO Pham Ngoc Minh told Bloomberg News that the agreement marked the start of negotiations. An Airbus spokesperson contacted by ATWOnline could not confirm the reports. VN has ordered both the 787 and A350.
