    VIETNAM'S VietJet on Monday agreed a firm order of 100 Boeing 737 MAX 200 jets worth US$11.3 billion at list prices, making it one of South-east Asia's fastest-growing low-cost carriers.

    The deal, signed during US President Barack Obama's visit to Vietnam, represents a coup for Boeing, as VietJet has only operated its European rival Airbus' A320 airplanes since it began operations in December 2011.
