The news follows the departure of Bamboo Airlinesthe third largest airline in the Vietnam, from Australia. Bamboo Airlines, which changed its chief executive last month, is adjusting its frequencies to demand on its less popular routes, which immediately meant halting all its intercontinental flights. After abandoning its London service in mid-October, it withdrew from the Australian market in November as the carrier plans a global restructuring. At the same time, Bambou Airways is in negotiations with the leasing companies from which it leases its planes to return part of the planes, including all of its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
