VIETNAMESE carrier Bamboo Airways has confirmed plans to launch a new direct route between Melbourne and Hanoi.
Earlier this week the airline signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Melbourne Airport, with plans to debut the 787-9 services after it receives a new aircraft next month.
Bamboo Airways was only established in Jul this year, and already operates 27 routes including flights to South Korea, Japan, Macao and Taiwan, with plans to expand its long-haul reach into Europe & the Americas.
Under the agreement, MEL will support Bamboo with “legitimate incentives” such as fees for ground handling services, navigation, an airport representative office and co-branded marketing activities.
The Bamboo 787s have four first class suites, 24 lie-flat Business class seats and 274 in Economy.
