Recently, Bamboo Airways has appointed Andrian Hamilton - Manns, former CEO of Radixx International in Asia, its CCO. Hamilton also was CCO of India's largest airline IndiGo.
These appointments are part of Bamboo Airways' plan to finalize its organizational structure before launching the first flight.
Bamboo Airways was forced to delay its official launch to the end of 2018 instead of the initially scheduled October 10 due to the fact that it could not obtain an aviation license on time.

According to Thang, this is the final legal requirement for Bamboo Airways to jump into Vietnam's aviation industry.
"We expect to launch the first flight at the end of the fourth quarter," Thang was quoted by Zing.vn as saying.
