Bamboo Airways launching second London Gatwick route
Bamboo Airways is launching flights from Ho Chi Minh City to London Gatwick.
The service will initially fly once a week from 7 December, complementing Bamboo’s upcoming inaugural route between Gatwick and Vietnam’s capital Hanoi, which launches on 30 October.
Thach Pierre Hoang, Acting Chief Commercial Officer of Bamboo Airways said: “With this new route launching ahead of Christmas and New year 2023, Bamboo Airways hopes to meet the high travel demands of Vietnamese communities in the UK wishing to come back home for a holiday. ”
Bamboo’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft will have three-class service of economy, premium economy and business class featuring fully lie-flat beds.
Stephanie Wear, VP of Aviation Development, Gatwick Airport said: “It is fantastic news that Bamboo Airways is already expanding its operation from Gatwick, ahead of its inaugural flight. Bamboo’s excellent network means passengers can now explore Ho Chi Minh City, as well as more widely across Asia and Australia.”
“This is the latest in a number of new long-haul connections we have been able to offer passengers in recent months – highlighting the pull of Gatwick to long-haul operators.”
