History

Lao Air was established on 24 January 2002, as a helicopter charter service company. On 8 December 2003, the airline signed a lease-to-purchase agreement with Lane Xang Minerals Limited Company for the lease of a Cessna Grand Caravan to use on its charter services. The agreement signaled the start of its fixed-wing operation. On 7 October 2005, a second leased Cessna Grand Caravan was added to its fleet.

On 14 April 2007, its regular scheduled services began using the Cessna Grand Caravan.

In April 2014 the company utilized larger passenger aircraft in order to serve the domestic airline market.

The company's website payment section has been down since November 2014. As of April 2016, it is still operating a wide range of internal flights.
