Bamboo Airways – the Fledgling Vietnamese carrier failed to launch its first flight as planned as it had not obtained the required license from the government.
In July, 2018, Chief Executive Officer of the airline had said that Bamboo Airways would launch its maiden flight on October 10 to join the country’s fast-growing aviation industry dominated by Vietnam Airlines and VietJet Aviation.
Bamboo Airways plans to make its first commercial flight later this year.
Vo Huy Cuong, Officer of Vietnam’s Civil Aviation Administration confirmed with the local media on Wednesday that, Bamboo Airways can’t start its operations until it gets the license from the Ministry of Transport.
Bamboo Airways signed a memorandum of understanding with Airbus for up to 24 A320neo narrow-bodies in March as well as a provisional deal to buy 20 Boeing 787-9 wide-body jets worth $5.6 billion at list prices in July, 2018.
