This is supposed to be a firm order after the MoU signed at Farnborough last summer, but we better wait for Airbus confirmation of that.
"HANOI, Nov 2 (Reuters) - VietJet Aviation VJC.HM signed a $6.5 billion agreement on Friday to buy 50 Airbus AIR.PA A321neo jets, the Vietnamese budget carrier said.
The agreement, signed during a visit to Hanoi by French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, is part of aggressive investment in the Vietnamese airline's fleet, which has provided lucrative business for both European aerospace group Airbus and its U.S. rival Boeing"
Confirmed by Airbus:

Yes the one that magically sells 450 planes in an order placed at 11:59 on New Years Eve. Every year he seemed to have a 'hail Mary" that was the winning score.

That's pretty well done, especially because it seems a more "modest" year with regard to sale.

Yes you read it correctly, that's an order for 1 777-200LR
GECAS cancelled 1 787-9, probably taken over by Boeing Capital.

It should be noted this is likely the UFO A339 order Airbus booked last month.

Congrats to Boeing and Jeju Air. I am not sure if the A320neo was in the running but considering Jeju is an all 737-800 operator, not surprised to see them select the 737MAX.
