Boeing Is Up Against Airbus And China's COMAC As Vietnam Airlines Seeks Bids For 50 Planes In 2025 - Boei

Vietnam Airlines plans to issue requests for proposals in 2025 to acquire 50 new narrowbody jets, according to CEO Le Hong Ha.

What Happened: The national carrier previously signed a provisional agreement with Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) for 50 737 MAX jets, but a final decision has yet to be reached as other manufacturers, including Airbus (OTC:EADSF) (OTC:EADSY) and China's COMAC, remain in contention, Reuters reported.

Vietnam Airlines currently operates a narrowbody fleet exclusively composed of Airbus models. With the airline projecting a need for 170 new aircraft by 2035, COMAC’s C919 could also be considered amid growing interest from Chinese manufacturers in the Vietnamese market.
