Sun PhuQuoc Airways, a new airline from Vietnam

For the first time in Vietnam, an airline has been named after an island. The name Sun PhuQuoc Airways is not only symbolic, but also reflects Sun Group’s strategic commitment to accompany the sustainable development of the “Pearl Island” – contributing to Phu Quoc’s transformation into an internationally renowned destination and a new aviation hub in the region. At the same time, Sun PhuQuoc Airways represents a new “pair of wings” connecting people and places, creating greater opportunities for travelers — especially Vietnamese passengers — to access Phu Quoc and other world-famous destinations through direct, high-quality flights.

In the context of Phu Quoc recently becoming a special administrative zone under An Giang Province and being selected to host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2027 — which is expected to welcome around 10,000–12,000 delegates, including heads of state and government leaders from 21 APEC member economies such as the United States, Russia, China, and Japan — the demand for air connectivity is set to surge dramatically. The emergence of an airline with a modern fleet, a well-defined strategic roadmap, and a differentiated development vision will play a vital role in enhancing aviation and tourism infrastructure, delivering tangible benefits to local communities.

Together with Sun Group’s ongoing investment in the expansion of Phu Quoc International Airport, the launch of Sun PhuQuoc Airways represents a crucial piece of the puzzle — driving the integrated aviation–tourism growth model and reinforcing the allure of the island, which was recently named Asia’s most beautiful island and the world’s third-best by Condé Nast Traveler (US).

At the event, Mr. Le Anh Tuan – Deputy Minister of Construction – affirmed: “The launch of Sun PhuQuoc Airways by Sun Group is an extremely positive and proud milestone. It demonstrates the pioneering spirit, creativity, and bold vision of Vietnamese enterprises in joining hands with the Government to realize the national development aspirations and elevate Vietnam to new heights.”
