Sun PhuQuoc Airways has taken delivery of its first widebody Airbus A330, expanding its capacity to operate international flights.
On Tuesday, Vietnam's newest carrier, Sun PhuQuoc Airways, received its first Airbus widebody aircraft at Phu Quoc International Airport. The A330, capable of traveling up to 13,450 kilometers, marks the beginning of a planned eight-plane acquisition between September 2025 and April 2027. This addition will enable the airline to expand its international route network, targeting destinations such as Russia, Kazakhstan, Japan, Australia, and eventually, European markets.
The A330 accommodates 247 passengers, with seating configurations of 20 business-class reclining seats, 21 premium economy seats, and 206 economy seats, all equipped with personal entertainment screens and onboard Wi-Fi. As of the latest count, Sun PhuQuoc Airways operates 20 narrowbody A321 aircraft, including two A321 Long Range jets, with its fleet set to grow to 33 by the end of 2026, 60 by 2027, and 100 by 2030.
Launched in November of the previous year, the airline is managed by the Sun Group, a prominent Vietnamese developer of resorts and theme parks.
