Bamboo Airways CEO Breaks Silence: The Shocking Truth Behind His Travel Ban
Bamboo Airways’ General Director Faces Exit Suspension Due to Tax Debts
Mr. Luong Hoai Nam, General Director of Bamboo Airways, is working to revive the business and plans to pay tax debts in stages, seeking support from tax authorities.
The Binh Dinh Tax Department issued a notice of temporary exit suspension for Mr. Nam on September 11, citing unpaid tax obligations. The suspension will remain in effect until Bamboo Airways fulfills its tax payment obligations to the state budget.
According to Bamboo Airways, the issue stems from an administrative problem being addressed in accordance with the law, unrelated to Mr. Nam’s personal matters.
Mr. Nam expressed his concerns about the situation, stating that the airline’s financial difficulties have led to a request for bankruptcy, which was not granted. He emphasized the need for support to overcome these challenges and fulfill tax obligations.
The company has submitted a document to the Binh Dinh Provincial Tax Department requesting removal of this obstacle. Mr. Nam and the Bamboo Airways Board of Directors are actively coordinating with authorities to find solutions to the tax debt issue.
Since his appointment as General Director in October 2023, Mr. Nam has led the airline through a difficult period, maintaining operations and achieving some financial improvements. The airline aims to achieve total revenue of VND 4,857 billion and reduce losses to VND 1,387 billion in 2024, with the goal of breaking even and making a profit in the following years.
Bamboo Airways seeks understanding, sympathy, and policy support from authorities to stabilize operations, overcome difficulties, and contribute to the development of the Vietnamese aviation industry.
