Airbus wants to make plane parts in Vietnam: CEOIn a meeting with the Vietnamese premier in Hanoi on July 1, Airbus Group CEO Thomas Enders expressed his firm’s eagerness to collaborate with Vietnam in the field of military aircraft and airspace, and to offer help to build and run aircraft maintenance facilities in the country.Enders told Prime Minister Dung in the letter that he was particularly interested in the premier’s expectations for the further growth of the Vietnamese aviation industry, reiterating his statement in July that Airbus would also consider setting up component manufacturing plants in the country in the coming time.Airbus will cooperate with one of its biggest industry partners to build such facilities if the Vietnamese side backs the proposal, according to the CEO.Prime Minister Dung has forwarded the letter to Minister of Transport Dinh La Thang and chairman of national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines Pham Viet Thanh for consideration, according to the Government Office.Vo Huy Cuong, deputy head of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV), said whether Airbus will open a component manufacturing plant in Vietnam depends on many factors. “Airbus may have to consider the number of its planes being used in the area, as well as compare production, labor costs and technology in Vietnam with those in other countries,” Cuong told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Thursday.The CAAV official, however, admitted that Vietnam is a potential market for Airbus, with all of the three domestic carriers having many Airbus planes in their fleets.Airbus has recently introduced its Airbus A380, the world's biggest passenger jet, to Vietnam Airlines.But a top official from the national flag carrier said that the airline has yet to have plans to add the A380s to its fleet at least until 2020.While it is not clear when construction will start, the airport, which will be located in the southern province of Dong Nai, is expected to come on stream in 2020.
