    Bui Quang Dung has been appointed as the new chairman of Bamboo Airways, replacing Le Thai Sam. The announcement was made on Thursday, confirming that the change would take effect from the preceding Wednesday.

The airline has plans to add a new aircraft ahead of the peak travel season at the end of the year and another one before the Lunar New Year holidays in February 2026.
