Sun PhuQuoc Airways Launches Singapore Route, Connecting Two of Asia’s leading island destinations

By PNI Admin Last updated May 20, 2026

SINGAPORE — Sun PhuQuoc Airways has officially announced the launch of scheduled services to Singapore, enhancing connectivity between two of Asia’s most iconic island destinations. The launch also introduces the first full-service airline on the Singapore–Phu Quoc route, creating new opportunities to attract high-quality international travellers to Phu Quoc.

A full-service milestone on a high-potential route

The direct Singapore–Phu Quoc route has rapidly emerged as one of Phu Quoc’s most vibrant international routes, currently served primarily by low-cost carriers with daily frequencies. With ticket sales opening on 20 May, ahead of the inaugural flight on 25 July 2026, Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ entry into the market represents more than additional seat capacity. It signals a strategic move into the underserved premium travel segment between the two destinations.

As the first full-service airline operating this route, Sun PhuQuoc Airways introduces a new standard of travel between Singapore and Phu Quoc, with both Business Class and Economy Class cabin options.

The flight schedule is as follows:

● Singapore to Phu Quoc (9G720): Departs Singapore (SIN) at 14:20, arrives Phu Quoc (PQC) at 15:05

● Phu Quoc to Singapore (9G721): Departs Phu Quoc (PQC) at 10:35, arrives Singapore (SIN) at 13:20

Passengers will enjoy an all-inclusive onboard experience, including hot meals, standard checked baggage allowance, and a modern wireless in-flight entertainment (IFE) system. In particular, the Business Class cabin is designed around comfort, privacy and seamless priority services, catering to the expectations of business travellers and premium leisure guests from Singapore who increasingly value convenience and travel quality.

To celebrate the launch of the Singapore–Phu Quoc route, Sun PhuQuoc Airways is offering special fares from just SGD133 one-way. The offer applies to flights departing within one month of the inaugural flight date and is subject to the availability of promotional seats. In addition, passengers travelling from Singapore to Phu Quoc can enjoy a 20% discount on base fares during the launch period from 20 May to 19 June 2026.

Travellers flying with Sun PhuQuoc Airways will also receive complimentary tickets to the Sun World Hon Thom cable car, alongside exclusive privileges of up to 30% off accommodation, dining, spa and entertainment services within Sun Group’s ecosystem in southern Phu Quoc.

Connecting two of Asia’s leading island destinations

The launch of another direct air route carries significant meaning in strengthening connectivity between two iconic island destinations. Singapore is a modern island nation and one of the region’s leading financial and aviation hubs, while Phu Quoc offers pristine natural beauty, year-round tropical appeal and world-class integrated resorts.

Together, the two destinations offer travellers a balanced combination of vibrant urban energy and secluded resort experiences, all within less than two hours’ flight time.

With its visa exemption policy for international visitors, Phu Quoc is increasingly well positioned as an ideal destination for weekend getaways among Singapore residents and the expatriate community based in the city-state. According to Skyscanner data, searches for Phu Quoc by users in Singapore increased by as much as 184% year-on-year, placing the island second on the list of trending destinations for 2026.

Singapore’s role as a global transit hub also creates strong growth potential for Phu Quoc. With Changi Airport welcoming up to 70 million passengers annually, Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ presence in Singapore opens an important gateway for international travellers from around the world to access Phu Quoc directly.

Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ competitive advantage on this route is not only defined by its in-flight service quality, but also supported by a synchronised destination strategy on the ground.

Sun Group’s operation of Phu Quoc International Airport, together with its partnership with Changi Airports International (CAI) — the organisation behind Changi Airport’s recognition as the “World’s Best Airport” for 13 consecutive years — is helping to shape the development of Phu Quoc International Airport into a destination airport.

The consistency of service standards across Changi Airport, Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ full-service flights, Phu Quoc International Airport and Sun Group’s five-star resort ecosystem is expected to deliver a seamless, international-standard journey for travellers.

Amid fluctuations in global travel costs, Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ timely network expansion reflects its operational readiness and long-term commitment to the “Rise to Asia” strategy. The launch of the Singapore route will contribute to strengthening Phu Quoc’s position as an emerging gateway for tourism and regional connectivity.
