The Vietnam Air Service Company (Vietnamese: Công ty bay dịch vụ hàng không), or VASCO, is a chartered and scheduled airline in Vietnam, operating regional flights. It is based in Ho Chi Minh City, and operates scheduled passenger services in the south of the country. It also conducts charter flights, medical evacuations, SAR operations, oil platforms flights, and other aviation services.[1]
VASCO was established by government directive in 1987, and was originally a part of Vietnam Airlines, the national carrier.[2] It began scheduled passenger flights independently of Vietnam Airlines in 2004,[3] and approval has been given for it to be partially privatized.[4] It has been reported that Vietnam Airlines wishes to use VASCO as a basis for a low-cost carrier, established in conjunction with foreign partners.[4] [5]
