The signing underscores the growing digital and technological ties between Europe and Vietnam.

This new supply agreement formally recognises FPT as a specialist supplier eligible to participate in Airbus' Call for Tenders in key IT-intensive domains.

“This milestone highlights the growing potential of our partnership with FPT,” said Wersch. “It is also a strong recognition of FPT's technical expertise and maturity, and Airbus' continued confidence in the company as a trusted and capable partner.”

Chu Thi Thanh Ha added, "Throughout our operations, FPT has played an active role in promoting the collaboration between Vietnam and Europe's leading enterprises, particularly in the IT sector. Our partnership with Airbus stands as testament to this commitment. Backed by strong ties with more than 100 aviation partners and a highly skilled global workforce, FPT will continue to partner Airbus in contributing to the digital transformation of the aviation industry."

The new agreement builds on over a decade of successful cooperation, particularly through FPT's ongoing support for Skywise, Airbus' open data platform, which includes data integration and the development of tailored training programmes for Skywise users.
