This agreement marks a significant advancement in the cooperation between the two companies, positioning FPT among Airbus’ top-tier global IT vendors. The MSA enables FPT to participate in Airbus’ global IT projects in key domains such as customer services, big data, and cloud software engineering.

The upgraded partnership builds on over a decade of successful cooperation. In 2017, FPT became one of the first IT partners to help Airbus launch its Skywise ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region. Skywise is Airbus’ open aviation data platform, which includes data integration from airlines and the development of tailored training programmes for users. In 2023, Airbus streamlined its vendor list of strategic IT partners, with FPT among those trusted.

“Throughout our operations, FPT has played an active role in promoting the collaboration between Vietnam and Europe’s leading enterprises, particularly in the IT sector. Our partnership with Airbus stands as a strong testament to this commitment. Backed by strong ties with more than 100 aviation partners and a highly skilled global workforce, FPT will continue to partner with Airbus and contribute to the digital transformation of the aviation industry,” said Mdm Chu Thi Thanh Ha, FPT Software Chairwoman, FPT Corporation.

“This milestone highlights the growing potential of our partnership with FPT,” said Wouter Van Wersch, Executive Vice President International Airbus. “It is also a strong recognition of FPT’s technical expertise and maturity, and Airbus’ continued confidence in the company as a trusted and capable partner.”

FPT has solidified the position of a trusted technology partner in the global aviation industry, building an extensive network of partnerships with over 100 airlines, airports, cargo operators, and aircraft manufacturers across Europe, the U.S., and APAC. In addition to the partnership with Airbus, FPT has recently joined forces with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to explore cutting-edge aviation technologies of the future.

The company has also actively expanded its operations and collaboration in the French market. In 2023, FPT acquired a majority stake in French IT consulting firm AOSIS, enhancing its local delivery capabilities. To deepen cultural and professional ties, FPT also established the FPT Francophone Association to nurture a French-speaking talent pool. Most recently, FPT was the only Vietnamese company to participate in the Choose France Summit in Paris and joined the inaugural Vietnam–France Leaders Forum in Hanoi, reinforcing its role in strengthening bilateral business relations.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A shooting outside a church building in Salt Lake City killed two people and injured six others Wednesday, police said.

The shooting took place in the parking lot of a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church.

Dozens of people were attending a funeral inside at the time. All the victims were adults.

Police said they do not believe the shooter had any animus toward a particular faith.

“We don’t believe this was a targeted attack against a religion or anything like that,” Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said.

Police also do not believe the shooting was random. Authorities said no suspect was in custody.

About 100 law enforcement vehicles were at the scene in the aftermath, and helicopters flew overhead.

“This should never have happened outside a place of worship. This should never have happened outside a celebration of life,” Mayor Erin Mendenhall said.

The church was cooperating with law enforcement and was grateful for efforts first responders' efforts, a spokesperson said.

“We extend prayers for all who have been impacted by this tragedy and express deep concern that any sacred space intended for worship should be subjected to violence of any kind,” Sam Penrod said in a statement.

The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, and about half of Utah’s 3.5 million residents are members of the faith. Churches like the one where the shooting occurred can be found in towns throughout the city and state.

The faith has been on heightened alert since four people were killed when a former Marine opened fire in a Michigan church last month and set it ablaze. The FBI found that he was motivated by “anti-religious beliefs” against the church.
