The first batch of the jets will be delivered to its unit in Thailand, Thai VietJet, the company said in a statement, following a meeting between its chairwoman Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao and Boeing Global President Brendan Nelson in Hanoi.

On Monday, VietJet signed a memorandum of understanding with Carlyle Aviation Partners for pre-delivery payment financing facility worth up to $550 million to fund its 737 MAX aircraft purchases, it said.
