The newest Vietnamese airline – Bamboo Airways – launched its new route connecting HCM City with the central province of Thanh Hoa on Tuesday, with the frequency of one flight per day.

Bamboo Airways’ General Manager Dang Tat Thang described Thanh Hoa as an important destination in the aviation-tourism development strategy of Bamboo Airways and FLC Group.

The launch of the route shows the airline’s determination to contribute to the locality’s tourism, he added.

Bamboo Airways is part of the Viet Bamboo Airlines Company based in the city of Quy Nhon in Binh Dinh Province.

The company, owned by property developer FLC Group, was established in 2017 with charter capital of VND700 billion (US$31.4 million)

FLC has positioned Bamboo Airways as a hybrid airline, blending low-cost traits with those of traditional or full-service carriers to meet the demands of every market segment.

The carrier will operate 37 routes connecting major cities and tourist destinations at home and abroad in 2019, with up to 60 domestic flights per day. — VNS
