Sun Group, renowned for its breathtaking resorts and amusement parks, has just received the green light for a new airline—Sun PhuQuoc Airways. This dynamic new carrier sets its sights on offering travelers a fresh way to explore Vietnam and beyond, and it’s all set to take off this year.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways will operate on a passenger transport model, merging both scheduled and charter flights that connect vital tourism and financial centers across Vietnam and select international destinations. With an impressive startup capital of VND2.5 trillion (approximately US$96 million), the airline aims to establish a fleet of 31 aircraft by the year 2030.
The inaugural flight is slated for the fourth quarter of 2025, launching from the popular southern destination of Phu Quoc Island. This new venture promises to make travel more accessible to revered local and international locales, creating even more opportunities for adventure seekers.
Sun Group isn’t a stranger to the aviation sector; it also operates Sun Air, which caters to a luxury clientele with private jet services. Currently, Vietnam boasts six established airlines, including the likes of Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, Bamboo Airways, and a few others. However, it’s worth noting that Pacific Airlines has paused its booking services, directing travelers instead to Vietnam Airlines—a situation ripe for Sun PhuQuoc Airways to swoop in and meet the demand.
As the skies get a new player, the question remains: will Sun PhuQuoc Airways bring a refreshing twist to the aviation scene in Vietnam? Only time will tell, but for travelers itching to explore new horizons, the future looks bright!
