This is also the largest passenger aircraft in Vietnam today with a length of over 68 meters, a commercial payload of 56-60 tons and a maximum range of nearly 12,000 km. The aircraft has a configuration of 367 seats with 2 Business Class (24 seats) and Economy Class (343 seats).
“As the national airline, Vietnam Airlines always strives to be at the forefront of expanding and upgrading its fleet. Through this, we not only bring great experiences to passengers, but also carry out our mission of connecting Vietnam with the world and between regions across the country, making a strong contribution to the development of the economy and society,” said Mr. Dang Anh Tuan, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Airlines.
Boeing 787-10 has many technological breakthroughs and possesses modern features to help meet the outstanding needs of passengers.
The aircraft has outstanding advantages such as spacious space, comfortable seats and modern entertainment system. LED lighting, air humidity and pressure are optimized to bring a pleasant feeling to passengers. Business class seats are arranged in a staggered fishbone pattern and can be completely reclined, helping passengers enjoy spacious and private space on journeys of thousands of miles.
In addition, passengers appreciate the Boeing 787-10 for its additional amenities such as personal screens with a variety of entertainment programs that are regularly updated, windows with 5 light modes, reading lights, USB ports built into the seats, and larger legroom and luggage compartments.
Notably, the new generation aircraft is famous for its fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness thanks to the integration of advanced technology that helps reduce 25% fuel per seat and emissions compared to previous generation aircraft.
With the arrival of the new Boeing 787-10, Vietnam Airlines now has a fleet of nearly 100 aircraft. The wide-body fleet includes a total of 5 Boeing 787-10s; 11 Boeing 787-9s and 14 Airbus A350s.
Wide-body aircraft are mainly operated on international routes between Vietnam and Northeast Asia, Europe, Australia, the US and on domestic routes between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
The fleet is continuously expanded to help Vietnam Airlines ensure capacity to serve passengers during peak periods. This is especially meaningful in the context of the aviation industry's aircraft shortage due to the impact of manufacturers recalling aircraft engines worldwide.
Modern aircraft are also a top priority for Vietnam Airlines in enhancing passenger experience on flights towards international 5-star standards.
