Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc made the assertion at a reception for President and
Chief Executive Officer of Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) Kevin McAllister
in Hanoi on October 2.
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 centre 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.
