Bamboo Airways starts nonstop Hanoi to London Gatwick service

At the end of October, Bamboo Airways launched its first commercial flight connecting Hanoi and London Gatwick.

This nonstop service will look to operate on a weekly basis, with a return flight every Saturday. The route is powered by a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, and offers passengers a vast array of media choices with the inflight entertainment system, Bamboo Sky.

Nguyen Manh Quan, CEO of Bamboo Airways said: “The nonstop service to London Gatwick Airport is the next step in our expansion plan to the UK market which is considered a crucial gateway to Europe, thereby promoting the connectivity to other continents. We hope the sense of hospitality and international-oriented services of Bamboo Airways will win passengers’ trust and confidence while making a name for Vietnamese aviation.”

Jonathan Pollard, Chief Commercial Officer, Gatwick Airport said: “The arrival of Bamboo Airways at London Gatwick provides a very welcome addition to our operation.

“Vietnam is a wonderful country, offering a wealth of beautiful sights including stunning beaches, national parks, temples and vibrant streets and night markets, so we are delighted Gatwick passengers can now connect to its capital city and beyond so easily, via Bamboo’s excellent network.”

From the 7th December, Bamboo Airways plans to inaugurate the commercial flight connecting Ho Chi Minh and London Gatwick, proof of the airline’s relentless quest to expand its global network.
