American aircraft manufacturer Boeing and Vietnam Airlines will expand their business ties further as the latter is set to order fifty 737-8 aeroplanes. Part of Boeing’s famous 737 Max family, the said variant will help the carrier extend service and add new routes to its network. This development surfaced today during a signing ceremony among the Vietnamese government officials, US President Joe Biden and US Secretary of State Antony Blinkin.
