"As operations are gradually stabilising and its medium- and long-term development strategy becomes more clearly defined, Bamboo Airways has been restoring and developing previously established cooperation frameworks in alignment with market conditions," Bamboo Airways said. "Based on optimising fleet structure and enhancing operational efficiency, the airline has proposed leasing new generation aircraft, specifically the Boeing 737 MAX, to improve fuel efficiency, control costs, and increase flexibility in network deployment." Bamboo Airways withdrew its 787-9 fleet in 2023, when it cancelled all long-haul routes. It now operates an all-Airbus fleet of A320 family aircraft.
