Vietnam Airlines receives first Boeing 787 - 10 Dreamliner

The plane is the first of eight that will be delivered to Vietnam from now until the end of next year. Vietnam became the fourth in Asia and the fifth in the world to have this type of aircraft.

This is the largest version of the wide-body, two-aisle, and two-engine Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

For the upcoming Boeing 787-10 series, Vietnam Airlines will have 24 business-class seats and 343 economy seats for the plane.

Having the world's most modern aircraft is part of Vietnam Airlines' strategy to upgrade the quality of its service and eventually become a 5-star airline under Skytrax standards by 2020.
