Paris (VNA) – Low-cost carrier Vietjet and France-based company Safran Seats have signed an important deal at the 2023 International Paris Air Show that is taking place at Paris-Le Bourget Airport from June 19 to 25.

In the presence of Vietnamese Ambassador Dinh Toan Thang and leaders of Safran Group, Vietjet CEO Dinh Viet Phuong and his Safran Seats counterpart Victoria Foy inked a commercial contract under which the French side will supply Z200, a new and modern economy class seat series, for 120 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft of Vietjet.

The first aircraft with the seat are planned for delivery to Thai Vietjet, a subsidiary of Vietjet in Thailand, starting mid-2024.

The Z200 is the latest addition to Safran Seats range for short and medium haul economy class seats. This new generation is one kilogram lighter than the previous one and will highly contribute to the airline’s long-term sustainability objective in reducing fuel costs and carbon emissions.

Vietjet reportedly has chosen options dedicated to passengers’ connectivity needs aboard the aircraft. These seats include a PED (portable electronic device) holder and USB ports and combines comfort, lightness and durability. Especially, the Z200 Efficient+ configuration brings to airlines an optimised total cost of ownership thanks to its low weight, parts quantity reduction and ease of maintenance.

Paris Air Show has been a major event of the global aviation industry for more than a century. It is held at Paris-Le Bourget Airport every odd year by the SIAE, a subsidiary of the French Aerospace Industries Association (GIFAS).

This year, its 54th edition attracts more than 2,450 businesses from 49 countries, including large aircraft producers, engine manufacturers, and airlines around the world. Orders and contracted signed at the event are expected to reach 140 billion USD in value./.

Multi-channel capital mobilisation needed to achieve double-digit growth

The Ministry of Finance estimates development investment for 2026-2030 at a minimum of 38.5 quadrillion VND (1.48 trillion USD), or about 40% of GDP. The state budget is expected to provide only about 20%, or more than 7.7 quadrillion VND, leaving over 80%, or more than 30 quadrillion VND, to be raised from the broader economy. That makes expanding capital mobilisation channels beyond bank credit essential.
