Vietnam's Sun PhuQuoc Airways to receive 8 Airbus A330 planes by end-April 2027

Vietnam's Sun PhuQuoc Airways announced plans to receive eight Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft by the end of April 2027. The first two of these aircraft are scheduled to arrive in Vietnam next month and commence service immediately, as reported by the airline in a Facebook post. Two additional A330s will follow by the end of the current year. Another set of four will be delivered by the first four months of 2027. These new aircraft will bolster Sun PhuQuoc's routes to South Korea, Russia, Kazakhstan, Japan, and Australia.

The airline also revealed its intention to acquire 40 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner jets from 2031 onwards, as part of its strategy to expand its fleet to a total of 100 aircraft by the end of 2035. Sun PhuQuoc Airways launched its operations in November last year, initially focusing on tourism to Phu Quoc Island, situated off the southern coast of Vietnam. In a related development, aviation training organization BAA Training has partnered with Sun PhuQuoc Airways for pilot training on Airbus narrow-body A320s.
