HANOI, Oct 11 (Reuters) - VietinBank CTG.HM , Vietnam's second-biggest listed bank by market value, has signed a $117 million credit agreement to fund the purchase by budget airline Jetstar Pacific of Airbus AIR.PA A320 aircraft, the carrier said on Tuesday.
Jetstar Pacific, 70 percent-owned by flag carrier Vietnam Airlines and 30 percent held by Australia's Qantas Airways QAN.AX , will take delivery of 10 of the European aircraft maker's A320s in 2017, Jetstar Pacific Chief Executive Officer Le Hong Ha said in a statement.
The purchase, worth about $1 billion at list prices, was finalised last month during a visit to Vietnam by French President Francois Hollande.
