At the forum, Boeing also shared the company’s strategy to decarbonise aviation with a focus on fleet renewal, operational efficiencies, and renewable energy transition with an emphasis on sustainable aviation fuels and advanced technology.
“The significant opportunities outlines at the forum align with the Government’s ‘Make in Vietnam’, ‘Digital Vietnam’ and Green Energy goals. We will continue to work with Vietnamese industry and universities to provide a foundation for long-term industrial growth,” Micheal Nguyen said.
Speaking at the forum, Do Nhat Hoang, director of the Ministry of Planning and Investment's Foreign Investment Department, suggested Boeing continue collaborating and transferring technology to Vietnamese companies in aviation infrastructure development and technical services provision such as component production and aircraft maintenance.
