Sun PhuQuoc Airways Introduces Phu Quoc–Ahmedabad Route to 105 Indian Travel Agents

On 14 November 2026, Sun PhuQuoc Airways (SPA) hosted an Agent Seminar and Press Conference at Hyatt Ahmedabad, India. The event brought together 105 travel agents and 20 media outlets to introduce the nonstop Phu Quoc–Ahmedabad route ahead of its launch on 2 December 2026. This is the airline’s first route to India, operating five flights a week.
Bringing Phu Quoc closer to Indian travel agents
Through the event, SPA aims to work alongside Indian travel agents and tour operators to develop packages combining flights, accommodation, transfers and activities in Phu Quoc. These packages target fast-growing segments such as family holidays, honeymoons, group travel and resort stays.
Mr Tran Viet Loi, Director of Sales, Sun PhuQuoc Airways, said: “The commencement of our Ahmedabad–Phu Quoc service marks an important addition to air connectivity between India and Vietnam. We are pleased to bring these two destinations closer through a direct flight connection, offering passengers greater convenience when planning their journeys. Our focus is on delivering a comfortable full-service travel experience while making Phu Quoc more accessible to international visitors. We look forward to welcoming passengers on this route and contributing to stronger travel connections between the two countries.”
In 2025, Phu Quoc welcomed around 150,000 Indian visitors, an increase of 328% on the previous year, even without a direct flight. Nationwide, Vietnam received 746,000 visitors from India, making it Vietnam’s sixth-largest source market among its top 10 international markets. With SPA’s new route, Indian travellers can fly straight to the Pearl Island without connecting through a transit point, leaving more time for their holiday.
Flight 9G315 departs Phu Quoc International Airport at 7.35 pm and lands at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, Ahmedabad, at 11.30 pm local time. In the opposite direction, flight 9G314 departs at 1 am and arrives in Phu Quoc at 7.15 am. Departures from Phu Quoc are scheduled every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. From early February 2027, the airline will increase frequency to seven flights a week. With an early-morning arrival, travellers from Ahmedabad can begin their first day in Phu Quoc as soon as they land.
On this route, SPA operates the Airbus A321neo with full service, including meals and beverages prepared especially for Indian passengers. The menu respects passengers’ cultures and beliefs: no beef or pork is served, non-vegetarian dishes are prepared only with chicken or fish, and vegetarian options and Halal meals are available on request.
The “Resort in the Sky” spirit is present in every detail of the cabin, from the signature La Festa scent, originally created for La Festa Phu Quoc, Curio Collection by Hilton, to the wireless in-flight entertainment system. Fares include 23kg of checked baggage and 7kg of cabin baggage, so passengers can start their holiday without worrying about extra costs.
From 16 October to 13 December 2026, passengers booking through the airline’s website or mobile app receive an additional 20% off base fares for travel until 31 March 2027. Passengers also receive the “Phu Quoc – Your Ultimate Escape” package, which includes a Sun World Hon Thom cable car ticket, WOW Pass priority access and up to 30% off resort and entertainment services across the Sun Group ecosystem in Phu Quoc.
Discovery in both directions
For Indian travellers, Phu Quoc can be the gateway to a wider journey across Vietnam. From the Pearl Island, SPA’s network connects to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Van Don and Hai Phong, extending a beach holiday into city and cultural exploration.
In the other direction, the route opens a new gateway for Vietnamese travellers and businesses to reach Gujarat. According to India’s Ministry of Tourism, 54,091 Vietnamese visitors travelled to India in 2024, showing significant room for growth in this direction. A direct link to Ahmedabad, the industrial and commercial hub of western India, makes business trips, trade promotion and leisure travel between the two countries more convenient.
Ahmedabad is the first step in SPA’s plan to develop the Indian market. In the first quarter of 2027, the airline aims to launch routes to other cities in India. The airline’s fleet is expected to reach 33 aircraft by the end of 2026 and 58 by the end of 2027, with its Airbus A330 wide-body fleet growing from five to eight aircraft. Building on this foundation, SPA will continue to expand its international network, bringing more visitors to Phu Quoc while giving Vietnamese travellers more ways to explore the world.
