According to a representative of Sun PhuQuoc Airways, this event marks a new development in the airline's strategy to enhance its fleet capacity. It provides a foundation for expanding its domestic and international flight network during this year's peak summer season. The A320neo series is part of Airbus' new generation of narrow-body aircraft, capable of saving up to 20% fuel, reducing emissions, and noise compared to its predecessor, aligning with the green aviation trend pursued by many airlines worldwide.

The airline plans to receive 16 more Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft by the end of August, increasing its total fleet size to 26 aircraft. All these aircraft are expected to be operational this summer. A representative stated that despite global aircraft supply challenges since 2024, the continuous addition of new aircraft in a short period demonstrates Sun PhuQuoc Airways' long-term investment commitment to enhancing transportation capacity and expanding connectivity domestically and regionally.

Alongside increasing its fleet size, the airline is expanding its flight network to meet rising travel and tourism demand during the peak season. In the domestic market, the airline has opened ticket sales for the Hanoi - Cam Ranh route, expected to operate from 20/7 with three round-trip flights daily. From 25/7, two new routes will operate: Ho Chi Minh City - Hai Phong and Phu Quoc - Hai Phong, each with one daily round-trip flight.

From 22/8, the airline plans to open the Hanoi - Da Lat and Hanoi - Buon Ma Thuot routes, each with one daily round-trip flight. The Hanoi - Can Tho route will also commence operations at the end of August with two daily round-trip flights.

Internationally, Sun PhuQuoc Airways expects to operate the Phu Quoc - Chengdu route from 16/7 with three round-trip flights weekly. The Ho Chi Minh City - Chengdu route will open from 22/8 with 4 round-trip flights weekly.

Two routes connecting Vietnam with Korea, Hanoi - Incheon and Ho Chi Minh City - Incheon, are also expected to operate from 25/8 with one daily round-trip flight. Besides these announced routes, the airline is advancing plans to expand to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Bangkok (Thailand), Hong Kong (China), and several cities in India. By the end of August, the airline anticipates having 10 international routes, with Phu Quoc, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City as three key operational hubs.

In addition to fleet investment, the airline continues to develop its service ecosystem under the "Resort in the Sky" concept, from lounges and ground services to in-flight experiences, aiming for a consistent journey at every touchpoint. Passengers can also connect with the Sun Signature loyalty program within the Sun Group ecosystem. Through cooperation with NCB and Visa, reward points from flights can be redeemed for various services such as resorts, entertainment, air tickets, and daily consumer utilities. With the Sun Group ecosystem and the Sun Signature program, the airline aims to build more convenient, seamless, and valuable journeys for customers.
