Vietnam Airlines has signed an agreement with Airbus to buy an additional 16 A321 aircraft and two A350-XWB. Vietnam Airlines had previously ordered 41 A321 aircraft, 14 of which have already been handed over and 12 A350-XWB aircraft.

The A321 is bigger than the Airbus A320, which can carry 185 passengers and has a range of more than 5,500km. The A350-XWB has a medium capacity but can fly longer distances
