“Welcoming the largest member of the 787 family to our\ngrowing fleet ensures we continue to boast one of the youngest and most modern\nfleets in Asia and also adds a competitive edge to Vietnam Airlines’\noperations. We appreciate the unbeatable efficiency performance with reduced\nfuel burn and outstanding passenger comfort and amenities,” said Pham Ngoc\nMinh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vietnam Airlines. “On our\njourney to become a 5-star airline, we are confident that the Boeing 787-10\nfleet will further elevate the customer experience on the Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh\nroute as well as many international routes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new 787-10 will complement Vietnam Airlines’ existing\nfleet of 787-9 jets. Both feature the Dreamliner’s ultra-efficient technology\nand passenger-pleasing comforts. The 787-10 is longer than the 787-9, providing\nthe space to carry 40 more passengers and more cargo and helping it offer the\nlowest operating costs per seat of any twin-aisle jet in service today. Vietnam\nAirlines is outfitting its 787-10 models with 367 seats (24 in business class\nand 343 in economy class). In addition to its size and fuel efficiency, the\n787-10 can cover long distances. With a published range of 6,430 nautical miles\n(11,910 km), the 787-10 can fly more than 95 percent of the world’s twin-aisle\nroutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“ALC is extremely pleased to announce this important\nfirst 787-10 delivery to Vietnam Airlines with Boeing and be the first lessor\nto introduce the airline to the -10,” said Steven F. Udvar-H\u00c3\u00a1zy, Executive\nChairman of Air Lease Corporation. “This first of eight 787-10s from ALC\nwill significantly contribute to Vietnam Airlines’ ongoing major widebody fleet\nupgrade with the latest technology. ALC values our long-time role as an advisor\nwhen planning the growth and replacement of Vietnam Airlines’ fleet to maintain\nthe airline’s leading position in Southeast Asia and worldwide.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the delivery to Vietnam Airlines, the 787-10 continues\nto expand its global presence. More than 30 of this Dreamliner model have been\ndelivered to six operators since the airplane entered commercial service last\nyear. Airlines are deploying the 787-10 around the world, especially in Asia as\nit is home to more than half of all 787-10 destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Vietnam Airlines has achieved impressive growth in\nrecent years and helped power the rapid rise of commercial aviation in\nSoutheast Asia. We see even greater potential ahead and the 787-10 brings the\nperfect combination of size and efficiency for Vietnam Airlines to serve\nhigh-demand routes, while the longer-range 787-9 delivers the flexibility to\nconnect the world’s major cities with popular destinations in Vietnam and\nsurrounding countries,” said Ihssane Mounir, senior vice president of\nCommercial Sales and Marketing of The Boeing Company. “We are excited to\npartner once again with ALC to bring a state-of-the-art airplane to a valued\ncustomer. We are confident the 787-10 will help Vietnam Airlines continue to\ngrow its regional and international network and improve its award-winning\nservice.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To optimize the performance of its 787 fleet, Vietnam\nAirlines uses Boeing Global Services solutions such as Airplane Health\nManagement (AHM) to capture real-time flight data and enable predictive\nmaintenance. AHM is powered by Boeing AnalytX, a collection of software and\nconsulting services that transform raw data into greater efficiency during\nevery phase of flight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
