Besides, the airline sealed agreements to purchase other aircraft equipment including electronic systems, interiors and seats for its fleets with other subsidiaries of Safran.

Bamboo Airways' A320NEO fleet has been equipped with CFM International's LEAP-1A engines since the very beginning of the airliner.
The signing would strengthen the cooperation relationship between the two sides.
In September, Bamboo Airways signed an agreement with CFM International on the selection of LEAP-1A engines and maintenance service for 50 A320/A321NEO aircraft ordered from Airbus with the witness of President Nguyen Xuan Phuc in New York, US.
This is also a new milestone of Bamboo Airways when it not only contributes to perfecting the technology for the modern fleet but also serves as a premise for the airline to promote trade and cooperation activities in France, towards the deployment of direct flights connecting Vietnam and France in the near future./.
