Sun PhuQuoc Airways unveils international network plan to seven Asian markets in 2026

Launching “Rise to Asia” with an expanded international network

With a strategic focus on linking major tourism and economic hubs, SPA is accelerating the expansion of its international network, positioning Phu Quoc as a gateway to key source markets across the region.

In 2026, the airline plans to operate nine international routes connecting Phu Quoc to seven key markets, including Taiwan (China), South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong (China), India, and Malaysia. SPA’s first international flight, connecting Phu Quoc and Taipei, is scheduled to launch on March 29, 2026, marking the beginning of its regional expansion journey.

The consistent rollout of routes and stable operational planning not only enhances reliability but also enables both passengers and partners to better plan travel and business activities.

According to data from Phu Quoc International Airport and tourism operators, international arrivals to Phu Quoc reached over 428,000 in the first two months of 2026, representing an increase of approximately 35% year-on-year. Several markets recorded strong growth, with China rising by over 40%, while India saw a notable surge driven by newly launched routes.

These figures highlight the rapidly growing demand for international connectivity to Phu Quoc, particularly from Asian markets identified as a key source of inbound tourism in the coming years.

This trend further reinforces SPA’s commitment to its “Rise to Asia” strategy, gradually expanding its international network to boost tourism, strengthen regional connectivity, and unlock new business opportunities across the aviation and travel ecosystem.

Launching GSA partnerships to complete global distribution network

Alongside network expansion, SPA has officially established its international distribution system through partnerships with General Sales Agents (GSAs) across multiple markets.

Recently, the airline announced key GSA partners in the region, including TAMGP (a joint venture between TAM Group and GP Group) in Thailand, Discover the World in Singapore, and OpenSky in Hong Kong. These partners are recognized for their strong distribution capabilities, deep local market expertise, and extensive regional networks.

TAMGP is formed through a collaboration between aviation distribution groups in Hong Kong and Thailand. Discover the World, with its global sales representation expertise, operates in over 60 countries. Meanwhile, OpenSky leverages AI-driven technology in ticket distribution and has a strong presence across Asia-Pacific.

Partnering with GSAs that combine strong market reach, technological capabilities, and local insights enables Sun PhuQuoc Airways to rapidly build its sales capabilities, expand its commercial footprint, and effectively access local distribution channels in a scalable and sustainable manner.

The development of agency and distribution partnerships has been identified as a key strategic pillar, particularly as the airline accelerates its international expansion. 

Enhancing commercial policies and integrated ecosystem experiences

Building on its established distribution network, Sun PhuQuoc Airways continues to introduce attractive commercial programs, empowering agents to design comprehensive travel packages that enhance the overall customer experience within Sun Group’s integrated ecosystem of tourism, hospitality, and entertainment, one of SPA’s distinctive advantages.

For the DIFF 2026 season, passengers flying to Da Nang can enjoy Early Bird fares, bundled experiences at Ba Na Hills, and discounts of up to 35% when combining flight and destination products.

For international travelers to Phu Quoc, SPA offers complimentary tickets to Sun World Hon Thom, along with discounts of up to 30% on accommodation, entertainment, golf, and dining under the “One Ticket, Million Experiences” program.

The synchronized development of route networks, distribution channels, and commercial policies, leveraging the broader Sun Group ecosystem, demonstrates SPA’s clear strategic direction under “Rise to Asia,” gradually reinforcing its role as an aviation bridge connecting Phu Quoc more deeply with key Asian markets.
