Direct Flights International (DFI) was established in 1990 to provide a unique service specifically to the niche market of the Indochina community.
In 1990, DFI initiated a charter contract using Qantas Airways starting the first direct service into Vietnam from Australia with a Boeing 767-300ER with capacity of 240 seats and 09 tones of cargo operating 45 flights a year. DFI also ran a GSA for Vietnam Airlines and Lao Aviation in 1994 to 1996 in Australia.
When Qantas commenced their own direct flights services to Vietnam, DFI branched out to become a consolidator of airfares for various airlines specializing in the Asian market.
