Jetstar Pacific Airlines, operating under the IATA code BL and callsign PACIFIC AIRLINES, was a Vietnamese low-cost carrier headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City. It was a joint venture between Vietnam Airlines and Qantas's Jetstar Group, operating as part of the broader Jetstar Asia network.
The airline was originally founded as Pacific Airlines in 1991 and rebranded as Jetstar Pacific in 2008 following Jetstar's investment. It operated domestic routes within Vietnam as well as select international routes across Southeast Asia, positioning itself as an affordable alternative to full-service carriers.
In 2020, the airline was rebranded back to Pacific Airlines as Vietnam Airlines increased its stake and Qantas reduced its involvement. The carrier continued to serve key Vietnamese cities and regional destinations, operating a fleet of Airbus narrowbody aircraft.
Hubs & network
The airline's primary hub was Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, with secondary operations through Da Nang and Hanoi airports.
Fleet
The airline operated a fleet primarily composed of Airbus A320 family aircraft, including the A320-200.
