Sun PhuQuoc Airways Accelerates Presence in Hong Kong, Set for Inaugural Flight on May 22
— Hong Kong, China, May 8 – Sun PhuQuoc Airways, the airline brand of Sun Group, successfully hosted the “Phu Quoc – Your Ultimate Escape” agent seminar in Hong Kong, welcoming nearly 100 representatives from leading travel trade partners across the market.
More than a strategic networking milestone, the event reaffirmed the airline’s readiness to unlock a high-value travel segment from Hong Kong to Phu Quoc through its new direct flight, officially launching on May 22, 2026.
During the seminar, Sun PhuQuoc Airways announced a schedule of five weekly flights, marking the next step in its “Rise to the World” strategy, following successful expansion into Taiwan and South Korea. To optimize distribution and deepen market penetration, the airline also officially appointed Open Sky as its General Sales Agent (GSA) in Hong Kong – a strategic move to build a robust sales network and capture growing travel demand between two of Asia’s leading tourism hubs.
A key competitive differentiator of Sun PhuQuoc Airways lies in being the first full-service carrier to operate this direct route. Beyond conventional air travel options, mid- to premium-segment travelers from Hong Kong can enjoy a refined journey with hot meals, standard checked baggage allowance, modern wireless inflight entertainment, and premium Business Class privileges.
The airline’s signature service experience begins even before takeoff through its pioneering “Hotel Check-in” model. Guests staying within the Sun Group ecosystem can complete flight check-in and baggage drop directly at their hotel, allowing for a seamless and stress-free travel experience right up to the final moments of their holiday.
Further elevating this integrated premium journey, Sun PhuQuoc Airways has introduced the Sun Executive Lounge at Phu Quoc International Airport. Designed with distinctive artistic flair and personalized services, the lounge forms part of the airline’s broader ambition to shape a five-star aviation standard.
Confidence in the young carrier is also reinforced by Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ strong operational performance, consistently ranking among Vietnam’s top airlines for on-time performance (OTP). According to statistics from the Civil Aviation Authority, in the first quarter of 2026, Sun PhuQuoc Airways led the Vietnamese aviation industry in on-time performance, achieving an on-time rate of 84%. These results reflect disciplined operations management, synchronized systems, and real-time operational control even amid rapid network expansion.
Looking ahead, the airline also unveiled plans to standardize its cabin interiors under the “Élégance Indochine – The Elegance of Indochina” concept, alongside preparations to introduce A330 widebody aircraft into its fleet in the near future. These long-term investments, combined with exclusive travel privileges including up to 30% savings on accommodation, dining and spa services, as well as complimentary Sun World Hon Thom Cable Car tickets, create a unique value proposition few airlines can match.
For many Hong Kong travelers, short breaks and weekend island escapes are becoming increasingly popular. With visa-free entry for international visitors, a flight time of only a few hours, and a large-scale integrated resort and entertainment ecosystem developed by Sun Group in southern Phu Quoc, the island is emerging as an ideal destination for three- to four-day getaways.
With its short flight distance and special visa exemption policy, Phu Quoc is fast becoming a top choice for Hong Kong’s growing short-haul leisure market. The launch of Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ new route not only unlocks a promising air corridor but also further positions the Pearl Island as an emerging aviation and tourism gateway of Vietnam, where every journey becomes the beginning of a world-class holiday experience.
