Direct connectivity targets Indian tourists
Phu Quoc has seen a sharp rise in Indian visitors despite the absence of direct flights. The airline said the island welcomed around 150,000 Indian tourists in 2025, a 328 per cent increase from the previous year. Vietnam received approximately 746,000 visitors from India during the same year, making India one of its leading international tourism markets.
The new route is expected to provide Indian travellers with a more convenient way to reach the island without a connecting flight. From Phu Quoc, passengers can also access the airline's network serving destinations including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Van Don and Hai Phong.
Ahmedabad is the airline's first Indian destination, but further expansion is planned. Sun PhuQuoc Airways aims to introduce additional routes to Indian cities in the first quarter of 2027. Its fleet is expected to grow to 33 aircraft by the end of 2026 and 58 by the end of 2027, supporting its plans to expand international connectivity.
