He hoped Boeing and Vietnamese airlines will reach cooperation agreements in the future.

The PM asked the US biggest airplane manufacturer to continue supporting Vietnamese partners in selecting suitable plans and conducting efficient flights.

He called for Boeing’s assistance in opening a pilot training center in Vietnam in the coming time.

With a large number of Boeing airplanes that Vietnam Airlines has hired and purchased along with the growing cooperation between Vietnam and the US, the PM expressed his belief in a new cooperation chapter with the US Company.

He noted that Vietnam has launched direct flights to the UK and Australia, and hoped Boeing will support Vietnam in operating direct flights to the US, which is significant in developing the Vietnam-US relations.

For his part, Kevin showed his impression on Vietnam’s socio-economic development, especially the rapid growth of the country’s aviation market.

Vietnam could become a partner to supply components for the production of Boeing airplanes, he said, adding that the US Company will continue providing the best-quality aircraft for Vietnam.

Boeing is willing to send its experts to help Vietnam, especially in improving aviation infrastructure and aircraft quality, he said.
