Briefing
Vietnam Airlines is seeking up to 30 A350-900 or 787-9 widebodies with 2028–2032 delivery windows and is inviting offers across purchase, operating- and finance-lease and sub-lease options; indicative proposals are due 8 October 2025.
The scale and timing will affect OEM delivery slots and lessor availability, feeding into regional widebody handover dynamics as carriers absorb new long‑haul capacity (see recent coverage of rising widebody handovers in 2026).
The expansion ties to Vietnam Airlines’ broader network and cargo strategy, complementing its planned standalone freighter unit and moves to grow maintenance capability at Long Thanh through carrier-led MRO initiatives.
