Bamboo Airways – of the Viet Bamboo Airlines Co., owned by property developer FLC Group – planned its first official take off for 10 October. Tickets are now on sale along with various promotional programmes, some of which offer attractive packages for flight tickets in conjunction with FLC golfing and accommodation services. FLC Group has developed Bamboo Airways as a ‘hybrid’ airline, blending low-cost service and amenities with those of traditional or full-service carriers. The group has also invested in infrastructure for aviation operations, such as upgrading Phu Cat Airport in Quy Nhon City and key roads connecting the airport to Nhon Hoi Economic Zone.
