Bamboo Airways names Vietnam Airlines ex-deputy general director as CEO

The carrier said Quan had asked to step down from the position he had held since July 2022.

Under his leadership, Bamboo earned record revenues in the second half of 2022 through innovative business initiatives.

As of the end of the first quarter this year its fleet utilization rate had risen close to 100%.

Hai, 51, has a bachelor’s degree in tourism business management from the National Economics University and 25 years’ experience in the airline industry.

He was deputy general director of Vietnam Airlines between April 2015 and January 2019.

Bamboo Airways had said last week there will be some changes in the board of directors and management.

Hideki Oshima, a former director of international relations and airline alliance at Japan Airlines, is set to join the board of directors and executive board, while Masaru Onishi, a former president of Japan Airlines, will become senior advisor to the board of directors.
