In a statement, the CAI wrote: "The partnership aims to transform Phu Quoc International Airport into a travel destination, delivering world-class service standards and a seamless travel experience ahead of the APEC 2027 Summit, when the airport is expected to welcome global leaders and international visitors. The collaboration further strengthens Phu Quoc’s position as an emerging aviation and tourism hub in the Asia-Pacific region."
“Airports today play a far greater role than transportation infrastructure. They are gateways that shape the first impression of a destination,” Dang Minh Truong, Chairman of Sun Group. “Singapore Changi Airport is widely recognised for its operational excellence and pioneering airport destination concept. Through this partnership with Changi Airports International, we aim to develop Phu Quoc International Airport into a true ‘airport destination’ where the travel experience begins the moment visitors arrive.”
Eugene Gan, Chief Executive Officer, CAI: “We are impressed by Sun Group’s vision for developing Phu Quoc as the next upcoming travel destination. Its integrated tourism and entertainment eco-system provides a strong foundation for the long-term development of Phu Quoc International Airport as a key gateway for the island. We look forward to contributing our expertise to enable Sun Group to create a world-class airport experience.”
In 2025, Phu Quoc International Airport handled 6 million passengers. With rapid growth in recent years, the airport has set new records for international flights with strong demand from both regional and international markets. The airport's government-approved master plan includes a new runway and Terminal 2 designed with an initial capacity of 24 million passengers. With further development, the airport will have a long-term capacity of 50 million passengers.
