Sun PhuQuoc Airways will launch nonstop flights between Ahmedabad and Vietnam’s Phu Quoc island on 2 December 2026. The carrier’s first Indian route will operate five times a week, with daily service planned from early February 2027. The connection gives travellers from Gujarat direct access to the island’s beaches, resorts and attractions.
The airline introduced the route at a travel trade seminar at Hyatt Ahmedabad, attended by 105 travel agents. It is working with Indian travel businesses on packages that combine flights, accommodation, transfers and sightseeing. Families, honeymooners and organised groups are among the travellers the airline hopes to attract.
Overnight Flights Will Reach Phu Quoc Before Breakfast
Flight 9G315 is scheduled to leave Phu Quoc International Airport at 7.35pm and reach Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 11.30pm. Departures from Phu Quoc are scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.
The return flight, 9G314, is scheduled to leave Ahmedabad at 1am and reach Phu Quoc at 7.15am. All times are local. Given the after-midnight departure, travellers should check the calendar date on their Ahmedabad ticket when arranging a ride to the airport.
The morning arrival leaves most of the first day available on the island. For visitors who want to go straight to their resort, the practical question is what they can do before their room is ready. Tour operators can build breakfast, luggage storage or a first outing into packages around the early landing.
A321neo Service Includes Checked Baggage and Meals
Sun PhuQuoc Airways will use Airbus A321neo aircraft on the route. Fares include 23kg of checked baggage and 7kg of cabin baggage, allowances that can matter to families comparing the full cost of a holiday. The aircraft will also offer wireless inflight entertainment.
The airline has tailored its catering to Indian passengers. The planned menu excludes beef and pork, with chicken or fish used in non-vegetarian dishes. Vegetarian and halal meals will be available on request. Passengers who need a specific meal can check the request when making their booking.
Launch Offer Links Flights With Island Attractions
Sun PhuQuoc Airways is offering an additional 20% off base fares for eligible direct bookings through 13 December 2026. The promotional booking window began on 16 October, and qualifying travel runs through 31 March 2027. Travellers comparing offers should use the final ticket price, since the percentage reduction applies to the base fare.
The airline’s Phu Quoc holiday promotion also includes a Sun World Hon Thom cable car ticket and WOW Pass priority access. Discounts of up to 30% apply to selected resort and entertainment services within Sun Group. For agents packaging a resort stay, those benefits provide options for including an outing in the itinerary alongside flights and airport transfers.
Indian Visitor Growth Gives the Route a Head Start
The airline estimates that about 150,000 Indian visitors travelled to Phu Quoc in 2025, an increase of 328% from the previous year. Across Vietnam, Indian arrivals reached approximately 746,000, placing India sixth among the country’s international source markets.
The nonstop service gives Phu Quoc hotels and excursion operators a direct link with Gujarat. The initial five weekly services give agents several arrival days to work with. Daily flights, if introduced as planned, would make it easier to offer a range of stay lengths around school holidays, weddings and group departures.
The route also serves travel in the other direction. India’s Ministry of Tourism recorded 54,091 Vietnamese visitors in 2024. The Ahmedabad link gives visitors from Vietnam another way to reach western India for business and leisure.
Phu Quoc Can Be the First Stop on a Wider Vietnam Trip
Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ domestic network gives travellers options to continue to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and other Vietnamese destinations. A longer itinerary could combine a beach stay with several days in a city, depending on how the domestic schedules fit the international flights.
The airline aims to add more Indian destinations in the first quarter of 2027. It has yet to name those routes. For Ahmedabad travellers, the first decision is whether the December timetable fits their preferred stay. Those planning a February or March holiday can check whether the proposed daily schedule offers a better match for their resort dates and onward plans.
