A source from the
Ministry of Transport said Airbus has proposed a plan to cooperate with Vietnam
in developing the aviation industry in the document sent to the Government and
the ministry.
Airbus said in the document that it wants to
set up the aircraft components factory in cooperation with a major industrial
partner in Vietnam.
The
planned-only facility in Southeast Asia will produce electrical safety belts
for Airbus A320 aircraft.
Airbus
stands ready to transfer technology for production of composite components for
A320neo and A350 XWB aircraft to Vietnam.

Airbus
declined to detail the plan as it is in the process of discussion with the
Government but said it will step up cooperation with Vietnam in the aviation
sector.
Airbus
announced in March last year that the factory of Nikkiso Vietnam in Hanoi made
composite spars and shields for the Sharklet winglet for A320 aircraft.

At
present, Vietnam has several enterprises manufacturing aircraft parts including
MHI Aerospace Vietnam, a member firm of Mitsubishi.
3
Vietnamese airlines – Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar Pacific and Vietjet - are
operating Airbus planes for their domestic and international flights.
Based on the article “Airbus wants aircraft parts factory set up in VN” published in VietNamNet Newspaper
Perhaps Airbus should out-source interiors away from Zodiac who are obviously under great pressure to supply Aircraft Manufacturers
