Sun Group showcases its integrated aviation ecosystem at booth E20 during Routes World 2026.
At booth E20, Sun Group is presenting the key businesses within its Aviation Division, including Sun PhuQuoc Airways (SPA); Phu Quoc International Airport, managed and operated by the Group through Sun Airport Corporation (SAC); Van Don International Airport; Sun PhuQuoc Ground Services (SGP); and Sun PhuQuoc Air Catering Services (SCA). By developing capabilities across air transport, airport infrastructure, ground handling and in-flight catering, Sun Group has established an integrated operating model that enables closer coordination throughout the aviation value chain. For international airlines, this creates opportunities for collaboration across multiple areas, from route development and operational partnerships to airport service provision, helping facilitate the launch of new air connections.
Sun Group seeks to unlock broader partnership opportunities beyond conventional airline operations.
A defining feature of Sun Group's strategy is the integration of its aviation businesses with its extensive tourism, hospitality and entertainment ecosystem in Phu Quoc and other destinations across Vietnam. This approach enables partners to explore opportunities beyond air services, including stimulating passenger demand, developing market-specific travel products and creating seamless connections between flights and experiences at the destination.
As competition for international air routes increasingly depends on a destination's ability to attract visitors and sustain demand, Sun Group's integrated model aims to enhance value across the entire visitor journey while opening up new avenues for collaboration beyond traditional aviation operations.
Phu Quoc ahead of APEC 2027: expanding international air connectivity

Sun Group is investing approximately VND 22 trillion in the expansion of Phu Quoc International Airport. Major components include a second runway, the new T2 international passenger terminal, a dedicated VIP terminal, expanded aircraft parking stands and supporting infrastructure. The facilities are scheduled to enter operation in 2027, in time to serve APEC. The new T2 terminal is designed to handle 24 million passengers annually. Beyond increasing the airport's capacity to accommodate international flights, the expansion will provide essential infrastructure to support Phu Quoc's long-term development as an international destination.

Throughout Routes World 2026, Sun Group's Aviation Group is holding bilateral meetings with airlines, airports and route development partners. Discussions focus on launching new routes, strengthening existing air links and expanding international visitor flows to Phu Quoc, spanning leisure travelers, business visitors and the meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) segment, particularly in the lead-up to APEC 2027.
Sun Group's participation in Routes World 2026 marks another step in its strategy to expand the Aviation Group's international partnership network. Ahead of APEC 2027, the Group is advancing the coordinated development of its airline operations, airport infrastructure, aviation services and tourism ecosystem. Through this integrated approach, Sun Group aims to strengthen Phu Quoc's links with international markets and lay the groundwork for the island's sustainable, long-term growth.
