With connections through several international gateways and flights available to Canadian travel agents through the major GDS, a thrilling new experience is only a few clicks away.’’

Quang Nguyen, International Sales Manager at Sun PhuQuoc Airways, commented: ‘’Sun PhuQuoc Airways is proud to introduce itself to North American travellers and their trade partners as Vietnam's newest full-service carrier, purpose-built by Sun Group to serve Phu Quoc through a modern young fleet, thoughtful Vietnamese onboard service, and a seamless connection to the resorts and entertainment of Pearl Island.
