1.First Vietnamese Airline Named After a Destination

Invested by Sun Group with a total investment of 2,500 billion VND, Sun PhuQuoc Airways (SPA) was established as Phu Quoc asserts its position as a leading tourism and resort center in Asia. According to global tourism organizations, Phu Quoc was honored as one of the most outstanding emerging destinations in the world in 2025.

Right from its name, SPA clearly shows its mission: connecting Phu Quoc with major cities domestically and internationally through a "hub-and-spoke" network. The airline not only focuses on popular destinations such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang but also expands to potential tourism markets without direct flights, such as Japan, South Korea, China, and many other destinations in Asia.

This is also the first time in Vietnam that an airline named after a destination has been established.

2.What opportunities does Sun PhuQuoc Airways bring to Phu Quoc?

As a strategic piece in the Sun Group ecosystem, Sun PhuQuoc Airways chooses to develop a "hub-and-spoke" flight network, placing Phu Quoc at the center, directly connecting major cities domestically and internationally, shortening travel time and reducing dependence on transfers.

With a mission affirmed by its very name, SPA connects Vietnam’s Phu Quoc island with major economic and tourism centers in the country such as Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and other key cities. Internationally, SPA aims to connect Phu Quoc with major cities and top tourist destinations in Asia, including destinations in Japan, South Korea, China, and other potential markets in the region.

Thanks to Phu Quoc’s visa-exempt status for international tourists, direct international flights will provide significant leverage to attract visitors from around the world to the island more easily than ever before.

Domestic passengers will also benefit from the multi-point flight network, allowing people from areas outside of Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City to access Phu Quoc more conveniently and quickly.

3. “Resort from the Sky”

SPA will connect travelers directly to the island to fully experience the high-class resorts, entertainment complexes, stunning beaches, and high-class restaurants and shows. Each flight is not just a means of transportation but the beginning of a perfect vacation, from the air to the ground.

SPA pioneers the concept of “resort aviation,” transforming each flight into a “resort in the sky.” The cabin space is designed with a strong Phu Quoc atmosphere, from the interior, music, and cuisine. Passengers will feel the beauty of the island from the moment they step onto the plane, enjoying comfortable and relaxing services as if they were on vacation.

Passengers flying with SPA also enjoy exclusive privileges from the Sun Group ecosystem, including discounts on accommodation, dining, and entertainment experiences.

This combination not only elevates the travel experience but also optimizes costs, providing an affordable and convenient vacation. Instead of buying services individually, travelers can enjoy a complete “flight – accommodation – dining – entertainment” package at a discounted price, creating a unique difference for Sun PhuQuoc Airways.

4. Phu Quoc's Great Opportunity

The establishment of Sun PhuQuoc Airways coincides with Phu Quoc's preparations for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC 2027), a large-scale international event with thousands of delegates and leaders from 21 member economies.

SPA not only alleviates transportation pressure but also acts as a connecting gateway, bringing international tourists to the second most beautiful island in the world.

Through its development strategies, SPA will contribute to making Phu Quoc an attractive international destination and a new aviation hub in the region. At the same time, it is also a bridge that provides opportunities for Vietnamese tourists to easily access the world through high-quality direct flights.

The emergence of SPA also marks a turning point for the Vietnamese aviation market, promoting a shift from "convenient aviation" to "resort aviation." This trend is developing strongly in famous tourist markets in the region, and SPA is pioneering this model in Vietnam.

With its "radial" flight network and unique services, Sun PhuQuoc Airways not only elevates Phu Quoc's position on the global tourism map but also opens up opportunities to bring millions of domestic and international tourists to enjoy the paradise beauty of the Emerald Island, as well as provide Vietnamese tourists with easier opportunities to explore the world.

With the emergence of an airline named after Phu Quoc, and the international airport preparing for a grand upgrade, the Emerald Island will increasingly move towards becoming a new tourism and aviation center in the region. And from these solid launchpads, Phu Quoc will quickly "take off" and reach further on the world map.
