Vietravel Airlines Appoints Former Bamboo Airways Chairman to Board
Vietravel Airlines has appointed former Bamboo Airways chairman Bùi Quang Dũng to its board. The airline launched its Hanoi–Shenzhen route on November 14, plans to expand its China network and has signed an agreement with Airbus to buy 50 aircraft.
Vietravel Airlines announced that Bùi Quang Dũng, a former chairman of Bamboo Airways, became a member of its board of directors on November 9. He also serves as head of the board office. The company said it hopes the appointment will strengthen the link between the board’s direction and the execution of business operations as the airline expands.
Before joining Vietravel Airlines, Bùi Quang Dũng was also deputy general director of FLC Group and held several senior positions at Colliers International, BIM Group and Empire Group. The airline is gradually strengthening its operating capacity and expanding its fleet and domestic and international route networks.

On November 14, Vietravel Airlines began operating its Hanoi–Shenzhen route, its first route to China. The company plans to develop routes to Chongqing and Kunming. If the planned routes begin operating, its flights between Vietnam and China are expected to total nearly 30 a week.
The expansion of its China routes comes as Vietravel Airlines accelerates its transformation after joining the T&T Group ecosystem. The airline has recently continued adding aircraft and has signed an agreement with Airbus to purchase 50 new-generation aircraft, including 20 A220s and 30 A321-family aircraft.
