Vietnam Airlines is introducing two new twin-jet widebodies to its fleet. The carrier received its first Airbus A350-900 (VN-A886, msn 14, ex-F-WZFI) on June 30 at Airbus' Toulouse customer delivery centre. The aircraft departed for its Hanoi base the following day. Crew training is under way ahead of the type being placed on the Hanoi-Paris CDG service in September. Vietnam Airlines will operate 14 A350s, of which seven will be leased from AerCap. Finnair, TAM, Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific are among the next scheduled recipients of the A350.
