Under a certificate granted by the US’s Transportation Security Administration to the airline, Bamboo Airways will conduct 12 two-way flights on the route between September and November this year.
The flights will take off and land in different airports of Vietnam (Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi and Da Nang International Airport in Da Nang) and the US (San Francisco and Los Angeles airports in California, and Seattle-Tacoma airport in Washington).
The airline said it has so far completed all important preparations to get ready to operate regular commercial flights connecting Vietnam and the US from late 2021 or early 2022.
Earlier, Bamboo Airways officially entered into cooperation with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to trial the IATA Travel Pass from the fourth quarter of 2021, laying a solid foundation for the airline’s reopening of international routes.
IATA Travel Pass is a digital health wallet where passengers can upload and share their COVID-19 tests and vaccinations certificates for travel. Health information is an essential factor for both governments and carriers to conduct safe flights during and after the pandemic.
