Vietnamese carriers sign US$6.5b, 40-plane deal: Airbus

Vietnam carriers bought 40 air planes worth $6.5 billion from France's Airbus Tuesday (Sep 6), as President Francois Hollande visited the communist nation to drum up business ties.

Low-cost private airline VietJet, known for its bikini-clad hostesses, bought 20 planes while national carrier Vietnam Airlines and budget airline JetStar Pacific bought 10 each in "deals worth 6.5 billion", Airbus Asia spokesman Sean Lee told AFP.
