NEW YORK, Sept 27 (Reuters) – Vietnam Airlines has agreed to
buy 19 Boeing Co 787 Dreamliners valued at more than $4
billion at list prices, according to people familiar with the
matter.

The order is in addition to the airline’s existing orders
for eight Boeing 787 Dreamliners, the sources said. All of the
airline’s 787s, including the new jets, will be powered by
General Electric Co engines, the sources said. GE already
is a significant supplier to the airline.
