Experience & key features
What it is
Sun PhuQuoc Airways is run by Công ty TNHH Hàng Không Mặt Trời Phú Quốc, part of Sun Group, which was registered in Hanoi on 21 January 2025. Tuoi Tre reports that the Ministry of Construction granted the air transport licence on 13 June 2025, with total investment of VND 2,500 billion. According to ch-aviation, the first commercial flight left Hanoi Noi Bai for Phu Quoc on 1 November 2025.
Network and fleet
At launch the airline flew three domestic routes: Hanoi–Phu Quoc, Ho Chi Minh City–Phu Quoc and Hanoi–Ho Chi Minh City. Its first international route was Phu Quoc–Taipei, scheduled from 29 March 2026. According to Viet Nam News, Phu Quoc–Bangkok opened on 8 August 2026 as its sixth international destination, after Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong, Chengdu and Singapore, and a daily Ho Chi Minh City–Shanghai service followed on 15 October 2026. The homepage is promoting a nonstop Phu Quoc–Ahmedabad (India) route. The initial fleet was two A321-200s and one A321-200NX. In October 2026 Viet Nam News reported the airline's plan to operate 33 aircraft by the end of 2026, including five A330s. These are company targets, not verified figures.
App and services
The app launched on 26 November 2025 on the App Store and Google Play. According to the airline's notice, it covers booking, a 6-hour hold, online check-in 24 hours before departure, boarding passes in Apple Wallet, gate and schedule tracking, and purchase of baggage, meals, seats and Sun World tickets. Planned additions include phone-number registration, face-recognition check-in and in-app ticket changes. The app is available in Vietnamese and English; version 2.0.0 reached the App Store on 28 October 2026.
More analysis
Fares and conditions
The homepage has no fixed price list, only promotions such as up to 20% off or Ho Chi Minh City–Shanghai from 2,172,000 VND one way. The conditions of carriage allow refunds in defined cases but give no amounts for change fees, refund fees or free baggage; those are published separately on the website, in the app or via the call center. Passengers should read the conditions for their fare before paying.
Versus alternatives
Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air and Bamboo Airways have much longer operating histories. Sun PhuQuoc Airways stands apart through its tie to the Sun Group ecosystem and its focus on Phu Quoc. This review rests on public documents, not on flights taken, so it does not reflect the in-cabin experience.

Cancellation & refunds
Under the conditions of carriage, a refundable ticket returns the unused amount minus refund fees, while a non-refundable ticket returns only taxes, government fees and some unused ancillaries. If the airline cancels, moves the departure by more than 5 hours, or delays by 4 hours or more, passengers can claim a refund. The document gives no amounts for change or refund fees; the airline publishes them on its website and app, at branches or via the call center.
Privacy
The customer personal data protection notice (last updated 12 March 2026) restates the legal definitions of two data groups: basic data such as name, date of birth, ID numbers and phone number, and sensitive data such as biometrics, location determined by positioning services, and bank card and account details. The airline also collects device and app data, cookies, advertising data and camera footage on its premises. Stated purposes include service delivery, payments, customer care, identity verification, fraud prevention and interest-based advertising, including on third-party websites. Data may be shared with partners, advertising partners, successors in a business transfer, and authorities where the law requires. The notice sets no fixed retention period (data is kept until the customer asks for deletion or as the law requires) and does not address transfers outside Vietnam. Customers can view, update or delete some data through the account management page, the hotline or a written request. On the App Store, the developer declares that location, search history, identifiers, usage data and diagnostics may be used to track users across other companies' apps and websites, while the Google Play data safety section says no data is shared with third parties.

Why this score
Rated 4.86/5 from 16,124 Vietnam App Store ratings and 4.9/5 on Google Play, covering booking, check-in, e-boarding passes and flight status. Ticket changes are not yet possible in the app (listed only as planned), which holds the score back.
Why this score
Three cabins, plus baggage, meals, seat selection, lounges, travel eSIM and Sun World tickets. The network covers domestic routes and at least seven international ones, still smaller than established carriers, and in-app changes and face check-in are only planned.
Why this score
Promotional fares are published (for example Phu Quoc–Bangkok from 1,456,000 VND one way), but there is no fixed price list and no figures for free baggage, change or refund fees, which makes comparison with Vietnam Airlines or Vietjet Air hard.
Why this score
No independent on-time or cancellation data was found. The airline has operated since 1 Nov 2025 and is growing its fleet quickly, so the score is cautious.
Why this score
A 24/7 hotline (1900 1599), in-app support per the Google Play listing, email, an FAQ section and ticket offices. There is no independent data on response speed or quality.
Why this score
The notice allows interest-based advertising and sharing with advertising partners, sets no fixed retention period and is silent on cross-border transfers. App Store labels declare location, search history and identifiers may be used for tracking.
