Bamboo Airways funds frozen over tax arrears

The bank accounts are frozen for 90 days, local media reported.
The airline responded: “Bamboo Airways plans to complete the tax payment in November.”
“The recent payment delays were because we had been focusing on prioritising our customers.”
“When it completes its obligations, the Tax Department of Binh Dinh province will ask the banks to remove the lockdown,” a tax office official said.
