The Vietnam Air Services Company (Template:Langx), operating as its acronym VASCO, is an airline headquartered in Tân Bình district, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.[1] A fully owned subsidiary of Vietnam Airlines, it mainly operates regional scheduled flights on behalf of Vietnam Airlines. It also conducts charter flights, medical evacuations, SAR operations, oil platforms flights, and other aviation services.[2]
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] VASCO's flights are largely marketed and flying under Vietnam Airlines identity, with VASCO being the affiliated regional operator.

In April, 2016, Vietnam Airlines announced the establishment of the new VNĐ300 billion (US$13.4 million) airline in the previous month, based on the restructuring of its subsidiary, VASCO, to a new brand: SkyViet.[8] However, in 2017, the plan was ultimately cancelled due to the requests from the stakeholders.[9]
