German Investigators Link Vietnam Airlines Munich Runway Overrun to Captain's Brake Inputs

German investigators found that repeated brake pedal inputs from the captain's seat caused a Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787-9 to overrun the runway in Munich on August 15, 2026. The aircraft struggled to accelerate on a 13,000-foot runway, lifted off from the grass at a speed 12 knots below the required rotation speed, and suffered tail and tire damage. No injuries were reported, but the cause of the braking inputs remains under investigation.

Vietnam Air and Boeing Close to $10 Billion Deal for 50 737 Max Jets

Vietnam Airlines is expected to sign an initial agreement to purchase around 50 Boeing 737 Max jets in a deal valued at approximately $7.5 billion. The deal, which confirms a previous Reuters report, coincides with U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to Hanoi to strengthen ties. The agreement, worth up to $7 billion at list prices, comes as Vietnam aims to expand its aviation market, which is predicted to serve 150 million passengers by 2035. Boeing's 737 Max jets were grounded globally following two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019. Vietnam Airlines recorded a net loss in Q2 2022, citing rising fuel prices and other financial risks.
