Bamboo appoints new general director after predecessor quits


Bamboo Airways appointed new general director Friday night after Dang Tat Thang, who helped set up the airline in the early days, resigned as its chairman and general director.

Nguyen Manh Quan took the new position after having served as the carrier’s deputy general director.

Thang, 41, was appointed chairman of FLC and Bamboo Airways after former chairman Trinh Van Quyet was arrested at the end of March for allegedly manipulating the stock market.

He served as FLC’s vice chairman from early this month after the group elected Le Ba Nguyen as its new chairman for until 2026 at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting.

Thang started working at FLC in 2014 as deputy general director, in charge of investment and project development. He was the leader of Bamboo Airways from the early days of its establishment in 2018.

Under his management, Bamboo has generated rapid development with a roster of 30 aircraft and became the first private airline in Vietnam to operate wide-body aircraft. After over three years, Bamboo Airways is operating nearly 60 domestic routes and 12 international routes, including routes to the U.K., Germany and Australia.

In his most recent public appearance in July, Thang said that Bamboo Airways aims to increase its roster to 100 aircraft by 2028.
