Air Force One Delivery Delayed to 2028 as Boeing Faces Rising Costs 
Vietnamese budget carrier Vietjet has officially received its first Boeing 737-8 aircraft, marking the beginning of deliveries under its massive $32 billion order for 200 Boeing 737 jets. The milestone was celebrated during a ceremony in Seattle, attended by Vietnamese President Luong Cuong, who is visiting the United States to participate in the UN General Assembly.
The acquisition of the new Boeing 737-8, part of the fuel-efficient 737 MAX family, underscores Vietjet’s commitment to expanding its international flight network. The airline said the large-scale order is designed to support its ambitious growth strategy, enabling it to strengthen connectivity across Asia, Europe, and beyond.
Vietjet, known for its aggressive fleet expansion and low-cost operations, is betting on the Boeing 737-8 to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs with advanced fuel-saving technology. The aircraft is expected to boost capacity, open new routes, and meet rising demand for affordable air travel, particularly as Vietnam’s aviation sector continues to recover and grow post-pandemic.
Industry analysts highlight that this delivery represents not just a step forward for Vietjet but also a significant boost for Boeing, which has been working to regain trust and momentum in the 737 MAX program after previous setbacks. With this partnership, Boeing strengthens its presence in the fast-growing Southeast Asian aviation market.
The delivery also aligns with Vietnam’s broader economic and diplomatic initiatives, showcasing cooperation between U.S. and Vietnamese industries during a period of deepening bilateral relations.
Reuters previously reported that the handover of the aircraft was imminent, confirming Vietjet’s intention to accelerate fleet expansion. As additional deliveries roll out, the airline is expected to solidify its position as a leading low-cost carrier in Asia while pushing forward its goal of becoming a truly global airline.
