These steps are part of FLC Group’s efforts to start its first flights later this year.

According to Mr. Dang Tat Thang, Chief Executive Officer of Bamboo Airways, Bamboo Airways is positioned as a “hybrid” airline, combining the traditional and low – cost models, with the target of offering services that satisfy different demands in every passenger segment.

Along with providing a full range of services as a traditional airline, at reasonable prices, Bamboo Airways also distinguishes itself from other existing Vietnamese airlines by offering five-star services for all of its flights. The airline plans to launch direct flights to the U.S. and Europe very soon.
