Sun PhuQuoc Airways, a full-service scheduled air carrier controlled by Vietnamese conglomerate Sun Group, is launching on July 25 a direct service between Vietnam’s Phu Quoc island and Singapore. It will have one round-trip per day.
Per a statement from the airline, the service will help in “strengthening the connection between Phu Quoc and important economic, tourism, and aviation hubs in the region”.
The carrier also mentioned a direct Phu Quoc-Bangkok route, linking the Vietnamese island to the Thai capital, with flights scheduled from August 8.
Phu Quoc is home to the Corona Resort & Casino, which, along with The Grand Ho Tram casino resort near Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, is currently permitted by the local authorities to offer gambling not only to foreign players, but also to economically-qualified locals.
Sun Group is also the promoter of a new casino resort project in the Van Don Economic Zone in Quang Ninh province in the north of Vietnam. A ceremony to mark the start of construction work was held in December 2025.
Sun Group said the addition of Singapore to its flight network marked Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ fourth international destination in less than four months, following Taipei in Taiwan, Seoul in South Korea, and Hong Kong, the latter service launched in May.
The firm’s latest update cited data from Phu Quoc International Airport, indicating that in 2025 flight routes connecting Singapore and Phu Quoc carried nearly 98,000 passengers. The company added that in the first five months of 2026, the number of visitors via Singapore accounted for nearly 66,000 arrivals, “equivalent to about 68 percent of the previous year’s total”.
Phu Quoc, an island off Vietnam’s southwest coast, is classified as a “special economic zone” of the country’s An Giang province. The island offers 30-day visa-free entry for specified international travellers, versus an eVisa requirement applicable for many international travellers to the Vietnam mainland.
