Indian travelers planning a beach holiday in Vietnam will soon have a new nonstop option. Sun PhuQuoc Airways is launching direct flights between Ahmedabad and Phu Quoc in December 2026, marking the Vietnamese carrier's first route to India.
According to the airline's official schedule, the inaugural Phu Quoc–Ahmedabad flight will operate on December 2, 2026, while the first return departure from Ahmedabad to Phu Quoc leaves at 1:00 a.m. on December 3. The route will initially operate five times per week before increasing to daily service in early February 2027.
The new nonstop service is especially significant for travelers from Gujarat because it removes the need to connect through another Indian or Southeast Asian airport before reaching Phu Quoc.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways is also celebrating the launch with a 20% discount on eligible base fares using promo code AMDPQC, alongside introductory one-way fares on the first flights.

Sun PhuQuoc Airways' official offer page confirms the five weekly departures and plans to increase the route to daily service in February 2027.
The Ahmedabad route represents an important milestone for Sun PhuQuoc Airways.
The airline began commercial flying in November 2025, positioning itself around what it calls a destination-focused or “resort aviation” model centered on Phu Quoc. Its first commercial services connected Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang with the island.
International expansion followed in 2026, with the airline building direct links between Phu Quoc and overseas tourism markets.
The Ahmedabad service is particularly important because it becomes Sun PhuQuoc Airways' first direct route to India.
For Indian travelers, the result is straightforward: visitors from Ahmedabad and surrounding areas will be able to reach Phu Quoc without a stop in cities such as Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
The scheduled return service from India will operate as flight 9G314.
Flight: 9G314
Departure: Ahmedabad – 01:00
Arrival: Phu Quoc – 07:15
Operating days: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday
Aircraft: Airbus A321NX
Flight: 9G315
Departure: Phu Quoc – 19:35
Arrival: Ahmedabad – 23:30
Operating days: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday
AeroRoutes independently lists the same scheduled times and says the service is planned to increase to daily operations from February 2, 2027.
Flight times are local and can change before launch, so passengers should reconfirm their itinerary after booking.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways describes the nonstop journey between the two cities as approximately 5 hours and 25 minutes.
Some Indian launch announcements have described the journey as roughly four hours and 45 minutes depending on direction and schedule assumptions, so passengers should rely on the actual timings displayed on their confirmed ticket.
Either way, the nonstop flight removes the additional waiting time associated with a connecting itinerary.
For Indian tourists heading directly to Phu Quoc, that is likely to be one of the new route's biggest advantages.
Indian-market reports announcing the route cite one-way fares starting at approximately:
on eligible introductory inventory.
From Vietnam, the airline is advertising introductory one-way fares from:
for the first four flights in both directions under the launch promotion.
These are promotional starting fares, not guaranteed prices for every date.
Your actual fare will depend on:
Departure date
Return date
Remaining promotional inventory
Fare class
Number of passengers
Optional services
Taxes and fees applicable to the booking
Travelers should compare several dates before purchasing.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways has introduced a launch promotion for the new route.

The official promotional details are:
Booking period: October 16 – November 13, 2026
Eligible travel: Through June 3, 2027
Discount: 20% off the base fare
Booking channels: Sun PhuQuoc Airways website and mobile app.
The airline makes an important distinction: the 20% saving applies to the base fare, not necessarily the entire ticket price.
Taxes and other applicable fees remain subject to the fare rules.
For example, if a ticket consists of:
Base fare: ₹10,000
Taxes and fees: ₹4,000
a 20% base-fare discount would reduce the ₹10,000 component rather than the full ₹14,000 total.
Unlike many low-cost international fares where passengers must add checked baggage separately, Sun PhuQuoc Airways says passengers on the Ahmedabad–Phu Quoc route will receive:
plus:
included with the fare.
The airline's general baggage policy also lists standard Economy checked baggage at one piece up to 23 kg, with maximum combined dimensions of 158 cm. Business Class receives two pieces of up to 23 kg each.
This baggage inclusion can make a noticeable difference when comparing Sun PhuQuoc Airways with another carrier.
Always compare:
Ticket + baggage + meals + seats
rather than looking only at the advertised airfare.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways says passengers flying the new route will receive meals and beverages onboard.
The airline has also adapted the menu to the Indian market.
According to its official announcement, meals on the route will not contain beef or pork.
Options will include:
Chicken
Fish
Vegetarian meals
Halal meals on request.
Passengers requiring a specific meal should request it early and verify its availability on their individual booking.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways plans to operate the Ahmedabad service using its next-generation Airbus A321NX, part of the A321neo family.
The airline describes the aircraft as offering:
Spacious cabin
Larger overhead storage
Modern LED lighting
Large windows
HEPA air filtration
New-generation LEAP-1A engines
The A321neo has a maximum range of approximately 7,400 km, making it suitable for regional international routes such as India–Vietnam.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways lists possible configurations including:
8 Business Class + 200 Economy seats
or:
236 all-Economy seats.
Aircraft configuration can change, so travelers should rely on the seat map displayed for their particular flight.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways is a relatively new Vietnamese airline developed by Sun Group.
It launched commercial operations on November 1, 2025, initially connecting Phu Quoc with major Vietnamese cities.
Rather than simply using Phu Quoc as another destination, the airline is building its network around the island as a hub.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways describes its concept as connecting Phu Quoc directly with important domestic and international tourism and economic centers.
Its current fleet includes Airbus:
A321neo / A321NX
A321ceo
A320neo.
The airline is expanding rapidly and has also signed an agreement covering 40 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners as part of its longer-term fleet strategy.
Ahmedabad gives Sun PhuQuoc Airways access to one of western India's largest economic and tourism markets.
For travelers across Gujarat, the route can be particularly useful for:
Beach holidays
Honeymoons
Family vacations
Destination weddings
Group tours
Leisure trips to Vietnam
Previously, many Ahmedabad travelers heading to Phu Quoc needed at least one connection.
The new route creates a direct link between Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) and Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC).
It may also attract travelers from nearby parts of Gujarat who previously traveled via Mumbai or Delhi for international connections.
Phu Quoc is an island destination off Vietnam's southwest coast.
It has become increasingly popular for:
Beaches
Luxury resorts
Honeymoons
Destination weddings
Family vacations
Water activities
Entertainment
Island tours
Vietnam News Agency reported that Phu Quoc received approximately 150,000 Indian visitors in 2025, a rise of 328% from the previous year, despite the absence of a nonstop India service.
Across Vietnam, Indian arrivals reached around 746,000 in 2025, making India the country's sixth-largest international source market according to the same report.
Those numbers help explain why an airline centered on Phu Quoc sees India as an important expansion market.
The direct flight makes the island particularly attractive for travelers looking for a relatively simple beach vacation from western India.
Phu Quoc is known for tropical coastline and warm waters.
Popular beach areas include Long Beach, Sao Beach and Khem Beach.
Travelers can choose between large resorts, boutique properties and quieter beach stays.
Sunset Town in southern Phu Quoc is known for Mediterranean-inspired architecture, entertainment and sunset views.
It has become one of the island's major tourist attractions.
The Hon Thom cable car provides panoramic views over the sea and surrounding islands.
It can be combined with attractions around southern Phu Quoc.
Phu Quoc Night Market is popular for local food, seafood, desserts and souvenirs.
Boat excursions can take visitors to nearby islands for swimming, snorkeling and beach stops.
Travelers interested in a quieter side of Phu Quoc can explore villages and coastal areas outside the main resort zones.
One feature that can make Phu Quoc especially attractive is its special visa policy.
Vietnam's official tourism portal states that foreign passport holders can stay in Phu Quoc for up to 30 days without a visa, provided they meet the conditions of the Phu Quoc exemption. Travelers transiting through another international Vietnamese entry point and continuing directly to Phu Quoc can also qualify under specified conditions.
The new direct Ahmedabad flight simplifies this considerably because passengers are flying directly to Phu Quoc.
However, there is an important limitation.
If you plan to leave Phu Quoc and visit destinations such as:
Ho Chi Minh City
Hanoi
Da Nang
Nha Trang
Hoi An
you should check Vietnam's normal visa requirements for your passport rather than relying solely on the Phu Quoc exemption.
Immigration rules can change, so always verify them with official Vietnamese authorities before travel.
A direct flight makes a short island vacation much easier.
With the current schedule, flight 9G314 arrives around 7:15 a.m.
After completing immigration and baggage collection, travel to your hotel and spend the rest of the day relaxing.
Explore southern beaches, Sunset Town and the Hon Thom area.
Take an island-hopping or snorkeling excursion.
Spend a slower day enjoying your resort, spa or beach.
Explore local food, shopping and island attractions.
Depending on your flight day, check out and travel back to Phu Quoc International Airport.
A five- or six-night trip can therefore work well without requiring domestic connections inside Vietnam.
Yes.
Phu Quoc is particularly suitable for couples because it offers:
Beachfront resorts
Private villas
Sunset experiences
Spas
Romantic dining
Island excursions
The introduction of a direct flight from Ahmedabad removes one of the biggest inconveniences for Gujarat-based honeymooners: connecting through another airport.
That could make Phu Quoc a stronger competitor to destinations such as:
Phuket
Bali
Maldives
Mauritius
Krabi
Families can also find plenty to do.
The island combines beach resorts with entertainment, outdoor attractions, restaurants and excursions.
When choosing a hotel, families should compare:
Family rooms
Swimming pools
Breakfast
Beach access
Airport transfer
Children's facilities
Distance from attractions
Since the Ahmedabad flight arrives early in the morning, it is also worth checking whether your resort provides early check-in or luggage storage.
The five-times-weekly launch is only the first stage.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways plans to increase the Ahmedabad–Phu Quoc route to:
from February 2, 2027, according to the currently filed schedule.
Daily flights would make the route significantly more flexible for both leisure travelers and tour operators.
The airline has also indicated broader ambitions for the Indian market. Previous company announcements have identified Indian cities including Mumbai and New Delhi among planned international expansion destinations.
Those routes should still be treated as planned rather than confirmed until firm schedules and tickets are published.
Travelers can book through:
Sun PhuQuoc Airways' official website
Sun PhuQuoc Airways mobile app
Authorized agents and ticket offices.

Before payment, check:

Fare conditions

Meal request
Seat selection
Cancellation policy
Passport details
For international tickets, passenger names should exactly match the passport.
Because the route operates five times per week initially, shifting your trip by one day may produce a different fare.
The current 20% base-fare discount expires on November 13, 2026.
Do not judge the fare only by the percentage discount.
Compare the total amount after taxes.
The included 23 kg checked + 7 kg cabin allowance can make the fare more competitive than a cheaper-looking ticket where baggage is charged separately.
If your entire holiday is limited to Phu Quoc, check your eligibility for the island's visa-free policy.
If you are traveling elsewhere in Vietnam, check the appropriate Vietnam visa rules.
The first Phu Quoc → Ahmedabad flight is scheduled for December 2, 2026, while the first Ahmedabad → Phu Quoc departure operates after midnight on December 3, 2026.
Yes. The Ahmedabad–Phu Quoc service will be Sun PhuQuoc Airways' first route to India.
The route will initially operate five times weekly.
The official schedule lists:
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
The Ahmedabad–Phu Quoc service is 9G314.
The return service is 9G315.
Flight 9G314 is currently scheduled to leave Ahmedabad at 1:00 a.m. and arrive in Phu Quoc at 7:15 a.m. local time.
The airline plans to operate the route with a next-generation Airbus A321NX/A321neo.
The route includes 23 kg of checked baggage and 7 kg of cabin baggage according to the airline's launch announcement.
Yes. Sun PhuQuoc Airways says meals and beverages will be provided on the route. Beef and pork are excluded from the menu, with chicken, fish, vegetarian and Halal options available.
Use:
for 20% off eligible base fares when booked between October 16 and November 13, 2026.
Indian launch reports cite introductory one-way fares from approximately ₹9,596 including taxes and fees, subject to availability.
Vietnam's official tourism information says foreign passport holders can qualify for a 30-day Phu Quoc visa exemption under the island's special entry conditions. Travelers intending to visit mainland Vietnam should check the applicable national visa requirements.
Yes, the currently filed schedule shows an increase from five weekly flights to daily service from February 2, 2027.
The launch of Sun PhuQuoc Airways' Ahmedabad–Phu Quoc direct flights is an important development for India–Vietnam tourism.
Beginning with the inaugural Phu Quoc departure on December 2, 2026 and the first Ahmedabad departure on December 3, the airline will operate five nonstop flights each week, making Phu Quoc significantly easier to reach from Gujarat.
The combination of an Airbus A321NX, 23 kg checked baggage, 7 kg cabin baggage, onboard meals and introductory fares from around ₹9,596 one way gives Indian travelers another option for reaching one of Vietnam's most popular island destinations.
The launch promotion makes the route even more interesting: travelers booking by November 13, 2026 can use promo code AMDPQC for 20% off eligible base fares, with qualifying travel available through June 3, 2027.
With daily flights planned from February 2027 and Sun PhuQuoc Airways continuing its international expansion, Ahmedabad could become an important gateway for Indian travelers heading directly to Phu Quoc.
