Former Boeing Vietnam CEO appointed vice chairman of FLC
Property developer FLC Group, which controls Bamboo Airways, has appointed Michael Vu, former country director of Boeing Vietnam, as its vice chairman.
Former Boeing Vietnam CEO Vu has been appointed vice chairman of FLC, according to a statement from the company. In his new position, Vu will focus on the aviation business and airport infrastructure investment activities. He will collaborate with FLC's board of directors and executives to develop strategic plans, broaden international partnerships, and access investment opportunities.
With over four decades of experience in the aviation sector, Vu previously served as Boeing Vietnam's head, chairman of the U.S.-ASEAN Business Council, co-chair of the Vietnam Business Forum, and leader at various multinational firms. FLC's decision to appoint a seasoned executive with strong management skills and international background aims to bolster the company's leadership and support its long-term growth objectives.
This move comes as Bamboo Airways, recently acquired by FLC, has faced substantial operational challenges, such as a reduction in its fleet size, flight delays, and cancellations. Following a series of flight disruptions, the airline apologized to passengers and established a dedicated portal for refund requests. Currently, many of Bamboo Airways' scheduled flights are marked as "no flights available" on the company's booking platform starting next month.
FLC regained control of Bamboo Airways in September 2025 after selling it to private investors, subsequently expanding its fleet to eight aircraft in the first quarter of 2026.
