Pacific Express

Pacific Express was an all-jet airline that existed from about 1982 to 1984 and was based in Chico, California. The airline later marketed itself as Pan Am Pacific Express thus reflecting a marketing agreement between Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) and the carrier for connecting passenger traffic feed at the Los Angeles and San Francisco airports. At one point, Pacific Express served 22 destinations in the western United States. It was a subsidiary of WestAir Jet Inc.

Pacific Express initially operated a fleet of seven British Aircraft Corporation BAC One-Eleven twinjets. The airline then began operating Boeing 737-200 aircraft as well. Pacific Express had six new British Aerospace BAe 146-200 jetliners on order from the manufacturer but never took delivery of these aircraft due to financial challenges which resulted in the airline ceasing all operations. Some of these BAe 146 jets were then purchased by Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA).

The name Pacific Express is now used as the callsign of Jetstar Pacific Airlines, the second largest airline in Vietnam.
