Vietnam Airlines JSC has submitted proposals for a 100-aircraft purchase to the government for approval, Chief Executive Officer Duong Tri Thanh said in an interview.
The Asian carrier has been examining proposals for the Airbus SE A320 and Boeing Co.’s 737 Max to meet the narrow-body requirement of 50 firm orders and 50 options, but hasn’t yet decided between the two, he said Tuesday at the Paris Air Show. Matters have been complicated by the grounding of the Max after two fatal crashes, he said.
