With the inaugural flight from Melbourne to Hanoi launched on April 27, Bamboo Airways became the first Vietnamese airline to operate this route.

On April 27, Bamboo Airways’ flight QH82 took off at Noi Bai International Airport, marking the airline’s first regular nonstop route connecting Hanoi with Melbourne. The new service helps shorten travel time between the two cities to only nine hours.

“Our Melbourne-Hanoi route comes into operation with a promise of convenience, time-saving, and a hassle-free travel experience, especially as Bamboo Airways is the first and only Vietnamese airline to operate this service. In addition, we expect this route will further strengthen its role as an aviation bridge and make a substantial contribution to Vietnamese and Australian relations in all aspects,” said Truong Phuong Thanh, deputy general director of Bamboo Airways.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner operated on this route offers utmost fuel efficiency, spacious compartments and excellent amenities.
