About Lao Airlines
Lao Airlines State Enterprise is the national airline of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. The airline is fully owned by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) and has its registered office at Wattay International Airport, Souphanouvong Avenue, P.O. Box 6441, Vientiane, Lao PDR. Founded in 1976 as the national carrier of the newly established Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Lao Airlines was originally known as the Civil Aviation Company and was formed from the merger of existing airlines: Royal Air Lao and Lao Air Lines. The Lao national carrier initially started life with a mixed fleet of Western aircraft, including the Douglas DC-3 and DC-4, operating on international and domestic routes, as well as a fleet of helicopters enabling access to the more remote regions.

Recently Lao Airlines added routes in 2024 include Vientiane to Phnom Penh as well as Savannakhet to Bangkok. New routes are planned for the future, including within ASEAN as well as to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. Domestically, flights to the Northern province of Bokeo are planned. Lao Airlines also has interlined and codeshare partnerships with over 30 airlines globally.
