In his directive, the Deputy Prime Minister concurred with the proposal from the Ministry of Construction to grant the air transport business license to Sun Phu Quoc Airlines.
He instructed the Ministry of Construction to take full responsibility for the content of the report and its recommendations, ensuring that the license issuance complies with relevant regulations. The ministry is also tasked with ensuring the safety and efficiency of civil aviation operations.
Prior to this directive, the Prime Minister had issued Decision 979 on May 20, 2025, approving the investment policy and recognizing Sun Phu Quoc Airlines as the investor for the airline project.
According to the decision, the investor executing the project is Sun Phu Quoc Airlines, a limited liability company.
As per the approved policy, Sun Phu Quoc Airways is expected to operate a fleet of 31 aircraft by 2030. The total investment capital for the project is estimated at VND 2,500 billion, equivalent to approximately USD 98.81 million.
The project aims to establish a new airline with a primary business model focused on commercial passenger transportation, complemented by charter operations catering to tourists traveling to and from popular Vietnamese and international tourist destinations, including renowned island resorts and bustling financial hubs.
According to the investor, the airline’s route network will center around Phu Quoc, connecting this “Pearl Island” with major cities domestically and internationally. This includes establishing direct routes to untapped markets in Asia, such as Japan, South Korea, and China. Domestically, Sun Phu Quoc Airways aims to enhance connectivity between Phu Quoc and various provinces, not just focusing on Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, thereby improving accessibility to the island for residents from other parts of the country.
