Bamboo Airways nears launch with Vietnam AOC approval

Vietnamese start-up Bamboo Airways is moving closer to its long-delayed a launch after the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) granted the carrier an air operator certificate. In an 8 January press release, parent FLC Group says Bamboo was granted the AOC after completing necessary processes, complying with conditions set by the CAAV on "operational standards" that prove its ability to provide "operational and service safety".The AOC certification is the result of four years of efforts by all of Bamboo Airways' employees. This is a certificate of belief, will, and consensus of all parties. I am confident that this AOC certification is an important first step for Bamboo Airways to serve passengers and devote themselves to Vietnam's aviation industry,
