History [edit]
The airline was established in 1991, and started operations in April of the same year. It has undergone a number of corporate restructurings since then. As result of July 2007 ownership change, Jetstar Pacific Airlines Joint Stock Aviation Company (formerly Pacific Airlines Joint Stock Aviation Company[6]) is owned by State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC) of Vietnam, Saigontourist, Luong Hoai Nam (CEO) and Qantas of Australia. Qantas had a 27% share, which gradually increased to 30% in 2010. Qantas owns 100% of Jetstar Airways in Australia and 42.5% of Jetstar Asia Airways in Singapore.
On 13 February 2007, Pacific Airlines changed its business model, becoming the first Vietnamese low-cost carrier to operate domestic and regional flights.
Future [edit]
On 23 May 2008, the airline was renamed Jetstar Pacific Airlines and had a plan to expand domestic and regional services. The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV) forced Jetstar Pacific Airlines to change their orange star logo because of some confusion with other airlines.[7][8] In February 2012, Vietnam Airlines bought a 70% stake in the company.[9] As part of its current expansion plan, it is intended that Jetstar Pacific will have up to 15 Airbus A320 aircraft by the end of 2015.[1]
