    Bamboo Airways signs $2-bln deal with Safran, GE

    Bamboo Airways has signed a EUR1.73-billion ($2 billion) deal with France’s Safran and the U.S.’s General Electric for aircraft engines and equipment.

    The Vietnamese carrier on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding with Safran and GE to purchase equipment for 50 narrow-bodied Airbus A321neos and 30 wide-bodied Boeing 787-9s.

    Safran makes high-class airplane seats and other cabin equipment.

    Bamboo Airways currently operates seven A320neos and 5 A321neos.

    “We are looking forward to developing a strong relationship with Bamboo and being part of its future growth,” Alexandre Ziegler, Safran’s senior executive vice president of international and public affairs, said in a statement.

    The deals were signed in the presence of Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and French Prime Minister Jean Castex during the former’s working visit to France from Nov. 3-5.

    Earlier low-cost Vietnamese carrier Vietjet also signed an agreement with Safran.

    The two parties had an existing $10-billion deal for engines and engine maintenance, and it has been expanded to cover more aircraft engine deals and a number of other aspects such as seats and interiors.

    Vietjet operates a fleet of 90 aircraft.

    Safran is a global technology company with interests also in the defense and space markets, 76,000 employees and annual sales of 16.5 billion euros ($19.15 billion).

    Vietjet and Safran sign SFCO2 agreement

    Yesterday, at the Paris Airshow 2017 held in Paris – France, Vietjet signed with Safran the SFCO2 agreement for fuel efficiency solution. The SFCO2 service contract spans five years, starting in 2017, and covers the entire fleet of the Ho Chi Minh City-based airline. It will help Vietjet improve its operational efficiency by reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The agreement provides for operational recommendations, along with a special SFCO2 web application that enables the airline to track its progress and potential savings.

    The SFCO2 solution combines the expertise of Safran Aircraft Engines, one of the world’s leading aero-engine manufacturers, with the long-standing experience of Safran Electronics and Defense in flight data analysis.

    “As an important element of Vietjet fuel efficiency program, Safran’s SFCO2 service will enable us to meet our fuel consumption efficiency objectives, so that we can better our economic and environmental friendly performance,” said Dinh Viet Phuong, Vietjet Vice President.

    “We are proud of winning this contract to support Vietjet’s day-to-day performance and dynamic growth over the next five years. Our selection by Vietjet confirms the effectiveness of our SFCO2® service and provides further recognition of our global expertise in fuel efficiency solutions,” said François Planaud, Safran Vice President of Services & MRO.

    Applying advanced technology and environment friendly solution in daily operation is one of the top priorities of Vietjet. By analyzing both operational and maintenance aspects, Safran’s SFCO2® service develops procedures and recommendations to address airlines’ need for greater fuel efficiency which can reduce Vietjet fuel consumption up to 5%. Accordingly, the fuel expense saved yearly is expected to reach tens of millions of US dollars.
