Earlier, at 12:25 AM, flight QH283 from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City was the first to operate from T3. Truong Phuong Thanh, CEO of Bamboo Airways, stated that thanks to thorough preparation and coordination with the airport and related parties, the transition went smoothly.
On the first morning of operations at T3, all Bamboo Airways flights departed on time. Only one passenger mistakenly went to terminal T1 and was quickly assisted by the airline's ground staff to reach T3 in time for their flight.

During the first week of the transition, from 18/8 to 24/8, the airline is offering a ticket change policy for passengers. Passengers who miss their Bamboo Airways flights departing from T3 due to misinformation, but arrive at T3 within 20 minutes of the departure time printed on their ticket and are confirmed by Bamboo Airways ground staff, will be offered a free ticket change to the next flight on the same route. If the next flight is full, Bamboo Airways will offer a free ticket change to the nearest available flight with no fare difference.
