They will help increase the total number of domestic air routes operated by Bamboo Airways to 20.
To mark this milestone, from May 2-16, the airline will offer air tickets starting from 200,000 VND (8.57 USD) for flights to Hai Phong from May 10-16.
Passengers could buy tickets at the airline’s agents or book online at the website: bambooairways.com.
By the end of April 2019, Bamboo Airways conducted nearly 4,000 flights with the rate of punctuality being over 92 percent, the highest in the aviation sector.
In 2019, the airline aims to increase the frequency of daily flights to 100, serving 5 million passengers.
