Discover the World becomes the official General Sales Agent of Sun PhuQuoc Airways in Singapore

Posted: Mar 18, 2026

Sun PhuQuoc Airways has appointed Discover the World as its General Sales Agent in Singapore, marking a strategic step in the airline’s plan to expand its distribution network and strengthen connectivity between Singapore and Phu Quoc.

The Singapore market is expected to play an important role in Sun PhuQuoc Airways’ broader “Rise to Asia” growth strategy. Through this partnership, Discover the World will support the airline in passenger sales, trade engagement, distribution development, and reservation and ticketing support in Singapore.

By partnering with an experienced local market representative with strong industry relationships, Sun PhuQuoc Airways aims to accelerate market access and build a solid foundation for growth in one of Southeast Asia’s key outbound travel markets.

Phu Quoc is increasingly attracting international travellers thanks to its short flying time from Singapore, integrated tourism offerings, and favourable visa policy. International visitors can enjoy visa-free access to Phu Quoc for up to 30 days, while the island offers a diverse mix of beach, leisure, entertainment, and premium resort experiences.

Singapore, meanwhile, is one of Southeast Asia’s leading aviation and tourism hubs, with strong regional connectivity and a high-value leisure travel segment. Its close proximity and strong outbound demand make it a priority market for Sun PhuQuoc Airways as the airline expands its international presence.

According to survey data from Phu Quoc International Airport Authority and Sun World Hon Thom, the number of visitors from Southeast Asia to Phu Quoc in the first two months of 2026 exceeded 22,700, up 128% year-on-year. Visitor numbers to Hon Thom reached nearly 36,800 during the same period, up 173% year-on-year.

Commenting on the partnership, Aiden Walsh, Global Business Development Director of Discover the World, said: “We are delighted to partner with Sun PhuQuoc Airways. This is a meaningful opportunity to support the growth of a young and ambitious airline. With our market expertise and global network, we look forward to helping Sun PhuQuoc Airways reach more travelers and gradually expand its presence in the international market.”

About Sun PhuQuoc Airways

As Vietnam’s first airline named after an island, Sun PhuQuoc Airways has been invested in and developed by Sun Group under a hub-and-spoke network model, with Phu Quoc as its central hub. The airline offers a seamless travel experience closely connected to Sun Group’s premium hospitality and entertainment ecosystem on the Pearl Island. Although a newcomer, the airline has rapidly built a modern fleet of 10 aircraft, consistently ranked among the industry leaders in on-time performance (OTP) since launch, while also completing all core safety and maintenance certifications from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam. Alongside the expansion of its international route network, SPA is also making strong progress in fleet development, particularly in wide-body aircraft. On February 18, 2026, in Washington, D.C., the airline signed a US$22.5 billion agreement to purchase 40 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner wide-body aircraft. This is the largest Boeing wide-body aircraft order in Vietnamese aviation history to date.
