People with some degree of insight say it's going forward, lots of money behind.

No AOC as of yet... could it be a case of all smoke and mirrors?

Count von Altibar 29th Sep 2018 12:28

Any more updates on the Bamboo AOC and planned start date?

Bamboo Airways eyeing 29 December launch

19 NOVEMBER, 2018
SOURCE: FLIGHT GLOBAL

SINGAPORE

Vietnam startup carrier Bamboo Airways is eyeing 29 December for its first flight, which would keep with its timeline of starting operations before the end of the year.

The 29 December date was disclosed by parent FLC Group in a statement related to an agreement between it and state-owned companies Petrolimix, Petrolimix Aviation Fuel and Petrolimix Insurance.

Petrolimix Aviation Fuel will support the airline’s fuel, and the insurance arm will be the airline’s preferred insurance provider. In turn, the two units will make Bamboo their preferred provider.

The statement adds that Bamboo will start operations with 10 aircraft, growing to 20 in the first quarter of 2019.

Bamboo Airways received its air transport business licence in early November, but still needs an air operators’ certificate before launching services.

The carrier had planned to start services on 10 October, but this date passed without a launch, apparently owing to holdups with its AOC.

Bamboo's website is not yet selling tickets. As for the route network, the airline plans to link Northeast Asia to FLC resorts in secondary Vietnamese cities such as Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Thanh Hoa, Binh Dinh, Quang Binh, Phu Quoc, and Nha Trang. Eventually it hopes to operate services to Europe and North America.

In a recent interview posted on FLC’s website, Bamboo vice-president and general manager Duong Thi Mai Hoa said the company is closely monitoring its AOC application. She adds that the company has been adding personnel and technical capabilities in preparation for a launch.

She reiterated that the carrier will offer full-service amenities, but be cost competitive with low-cost carriers.

Flight Fleets Analyzer shows that three aircraft are scheduled to start leases with Bamboo in the coming months - one A319 and two A320s that are listed as stored and managed by Standard Chartered Aviation Finance. The three jets are powered by International Aero Engines V2500 engines.

The airline will also take three A320neos from the orderbook of CDB Aviation, which are expected to enter service from July to November 2019.

In addition, Bamboo has letters of intent for 20 Boeing 787-9s and 24 A321neos.

I have just received skype interview call from them, looking for a guideline to study

BAe 146-100 15th Feb 2019 03:53

They was supposed to be the highest payer in Vietnam, now the salary they offer is super low and is actually behind VNA, for expats anyway...

They was hiring guys without even sim check... I think they are not the serious player like it seemed a few months ago.

kwaiyai 15th Feb 2019 09:10

I got email from FCI saying no sim check,11k USD PM plus some other stuff. Ive deleted it otherwise
would paste here. I am not interested personally as heard to much from Contacts in VN
and nearby about this lot ald.

NandoSB 15th Feb 2019 10:37

Hi Guys, anything else from this company? I've done the online test and I have a Skype Interview next week. Could anyone say a little more about roster, bases and also, about the skype interview?

Smokie 17th Feb 2019 22:16

Definitely up and running now. Bamboo call signs every day on the airwaves. Several have gone to Boo from my company already, more to follow.

CM1A320 17th Feb 2019 23:03

Bamboo is growing fast, and jetstar pacific will be replaced by VinAir, owned by Holding giant Vin Group.
lots of 320 jobs with the lowest salaries of the region.

Superpilot 18th Feb 2019 09:45

Aaah, the old Bamboo.

NandoSB 18th Feb 2019 13:33

The salary as I heard is the average salary for pilots in Vietnam. 7 for FO and 11 for Cpt. The

Check2 20th Feb 2019 03:34

Yeah I’ve done the online, but they are super busy, I think with the recruiting. Like most start up LCC Airlines I think.
i believe some Skype Interviews have been cancelled.

Check2 25th Feb 2019 22:33

Hi Gang,

cheers and happy travels

boomboom 26th Feb 2019 07:47

I had a look at these Conditions and just want to ask guys if there really going through with it... these Ts and Cs are pathetic...Vietnam is not a cheap place to live like it was around 10yrs ago...even VNA and Jetstar are way better in $ and commuting..This is disgraceful, what are some off you guys thinking, but i guess thats the game now, guys will take a good pounding to be a pilot...cant wait to get out off the game

tgo15 27th Feb 2019 12:00

Bamboo air
 
Has anyone applied to this company? What is the real deal. I heard they had “quick interview & no sim check” is that true. Is that even a standard?

How much are they paying, commuting roster right?

My friend just passed me all the info, but looks like they don't have 737 aircraft.
any info would be helpful. Thanks

Sandysin 2nd Mar 2019 08:29

Hi friends,
I am thinking to apply here as DEC on A320. Can anyone be kind enough to let me know about the online exam contents and what type of questions do they ask during Skype interview. Any other details concerning the airline or its working can be shared too. Information can be in boxed.
Thanks a lot for help.

Luke SkyToddler 3rd Mar 2019 01:01

I don't get it with regard to the crazy recruitment of foreign pilots, they only have a couple of VN reg aircraft, the rest are wet leased from Turkey

And there is a LOT of local pilots from VNA and Vietjet applied and been accepted to go there, it's a good deal for them, not so much for the expats.

All you guys getting excited about applying there, I suggest you get ready for a long wait, because they simply don't have the planes yet and there's plenty of guys already in the queue to fly them.

BAe 146-100 3rd Mar 2019 19:24

As usual doom monger Luke to the rescue, yes they need pilots. They did away with the sim process due to the ex vna instructors there failing lots in the sim.

The aircraft are not here yet but they will be coming and they need crewing.

squarecrow 4th Mar 2019 08:37

Says here Bamboo confirmed an order with Boeing for 10 B787's

Bamboo airways, atrans, baa in vietnam
 
The atrans is posting bamboo airways cadet program. They establish BAA vietnam to send their customer to lithuania.

people got training from lithuania are waiting to enter bamboo airways more than year.

Also their a320 type rating didn't accept any other country except vietnam.

So i think atrans, baa in vietnam, baa in lithuania all of them are great scammer in aviation world.

What do you think about it?

deleteyourmail 29th Mar 2019 10:48

Hi guys, any chance if anyone has any information regarding their online Skype Interview test? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Yes it’s true. Don’t approach the ATRANS.
Especially, Tony is the worst scammer.

Wonder Dog 4th Apr 2019 12:12

Tony and his mob were kicked out of Vietjet and now they are in Bamboo, it tells you the nature of this outfit if this corrupt gang was allowed in... avoid

Dogged 27th Apr 2019 13:55

I have heard that Bamboo offered 787 First Officers and Captains confirmed starting dates and then cancelled the job offer with no notice. This was after people signed contracts and gave up their current positions. They are now at home, unemployed and left searching for other employment because Bamboo will not commit to any new start dates.
Any truth to this?

Dogged 27th Apr 2019 14:11

On planet "SIGNED CONTRACT" I suppose.

Who the agency, Rishworth or Brookfield? Just left you high and dry, then consider using another agency as VNA is looking for Capt/Fo On the B787.

Currently there 45 pilot waiting for their CAAV Licence for the A320 fleet and those waiting haven’t been paid yet for over 2 months.

not reliable company , you get accepted ,you go there on your own and no accommodations and no airplanes
and you end up with no job no salary

fire1982 29th Apr 2019 06:15

this is why never go for a start up...

Count von Altibar 29th Apr 2019 13:43

This is all sounding a bit dodgy to me. Maybe best to avoid the bamboo!
