Earlier, FLC Group and Bamboo Airways had signed an agreement to buy 24 A321NEO aircrafts with Airbus in France under the presence of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in March 2018.
In June 2018, 20 Boeing B787-9 Dreamliner aircraft were purchased under the presence of Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue to set up the fleet preparing for the plan to take off at the end of this year.
Bamboo Airways is set out to be a hybrid airline, which combines traditional and low cost airlines aiming to serve all customer segments, based on the opinion of Dang Tat Thang, CEO of Bamboo Airways.
Besides offering all services of a traditional airline with reasonable fares, Bamboo Airways also determines a distinctive approach from other traditional airlines in Vietnam by providing five star services on all flights.
