越南航空在低成本领域的尝试可追溯至20世纪90年代，当时的太平洋航空后来作为与澳洲航空有限公司合资企业的一部分被重新命名为Jetstar Pacific；澳洲航空退出合作后，该公司恢复为太平洋航空，目前仅运行骨架服务。
Vietnam Airlines’ endeavors in the no-frills space started back in the 1990s with Pacific Airlines, which was re-branded to Jetstar Pacific as part of a joint venture with Qantas Airways Ltd. It reverted to Pacific Airlines when Qantas withdrew from the partnership and currently runs skeleton services.
