The establishment of the carrier was approved by the Prime Minister of Vietnam in July 2018.[17] The airline's AOC was granted on 9 July 2018, and Bamboo Airways subsequently passed the five stages for certification required by Vietnam's Civil Aviation Authority.[18] After reviewing the airline's financial structure and business plan, the Ministry of Transport issued an aviation license in November 2018.[19] The carrier inducted its first aircraft, an Airbus A319-100, in December 2018.[20] The same month, Bamboo Airways took delivery of its first A321neo, on lease from GECAS.[18][21] The airline started operations using aircraft acquired by lease from third party lessors, before taking delivery of aircraft from Airbus.[22] Operations started on 16 January 2019, with a leased Airbus A320 linking Ho Chi Minh City with Hanoi.[23] A firm order covering ten Boeing 787-9s was made public in early 2019.[24] The carrier received its first A320neo in November 2019.[25] The airline's first Boeing 787-9 was delivered a month later.[26]

Followed by the authorities' investigations aiming at its parent company FLC Group, Bamboo Airways stated that it was needing a "strategic investor".[30] Local media has reported that a new owner, that its accurate identity is yet to be confirmed, has already started its acquisition of Bamboo Airways by refreshing the board of directors of the enterprise, announcing restructure plans for Bamboo Airways as well as cutting connections between Bamboo Airways's operations and its "former" owner FLC Group.[31][32]
