Bamboo Airways secures London slots

Heathrow Airport

Vietnamese carrier Bamboo airways has been granted six weekly slot pairs for London Heathrow by UK slot regulator Airport Coordination Ltd.

The airline is expected to launch flights in May between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh to London operating a 50/50 split between the two with 3 flights each per week.

Bamboo is looking to use the routes to allow Asian passengers to connect beyond London.

The airline will serve the routes with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners
