The Vietnamese flag carrier plans to put the 787-10 – the most fuel-efficient twin-aisle airplane in the industry – on the busiest routes in its expanding network. The deal comes via a lease from Air Lease Corporation.

Boeing has reported its largest-ever quarterly loss, with the manufacturer losing $3.4 billion over the past three months. The financial damage comes as the entire fleet of flagship 737 Max planes remains grounded.

Ryanair is expecting to welcome five million fewer passengers next summer as the grounding of the Boeing 737 Max impacts capacity growth. The Irish airline has a total of 135 of the controversial models on order, the first five of which are due for delivery this autumn.

Boeing has offered US$100 million (£80 million) to the families and communities of those killed in two 737 Max accidents. The aircraft type remains grounded following the crashes of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 and Lion Air flight 610 in March and October last year respectively.

A strong commercial aviation industry, stable defence spending and the need to service all platforms throughout their lifecycle are driving a growing aerospace market, according to the Boeing Market Outlook.

Boeing has revealed it is working with the Federal Aviation Administration to address a “potential nonconformance” on components used in the construction of its 737 planes. The manufacture has contacted 737 operators advising them to inspect the slat track assemblies on certain airplanes.
