The Big Picture: Why 2026–2027 Will Change Everything
On March 21, 2026, Changi Airports International (CAI)—the operator of Singapore Changi Airport, consistently ranked among the world’s top three airports—officially signed a strategic partnership to co-manage Phu Quoc International Airport. CAI will be involved throughout the entire development lifecycle, from design consultancy and operational system development to full-scale management post-launch.
Vision: to transform Phu Quoc into Vietnam’s first “airport as a destination,” featuring a world-class ecosystem of retail, dining, and duty-free experiences.
The airport expansion project spans 1,050 hectares, with a designed capacity of 20 million passengers per year and a total investment of nearly VND 22 trillion, expected to be completed ahead of APEC 2027. Key components include a second runway (ICAO 4E standard), Terminal 2 for international flights, a dedicated VIP terminal, and expanded aircraft parking aprons.
In aviation, direct international routes to Phu Quoc continue to grow rapidly. A daily route to Seoul will commence on April 17, 2026, complementing existing connections from South Korea, Taiwan, and domestic hubs.
South Korea was Vietnam’s second-largest inbound market in 2025, with approximately 4.3 million arrivals. Phu Quoc alone welcomed nearly 3,000 flights from South Korea, serving over 555,000 passengers—an increase of 12% year-on-year. New routes to Busan, Bangkok, Singapore, and Hong Kong are expected to be added this year.
#Upgraded Airport: A Catalyst for Private Aviation
The new VIP terminal represents the very infrastructure that private aviation has long been awaiting. At present, Phu Quoc lacks a dedicated FBO (Fixed Base Operator) or a true VIP terminal by international standards. Once completed ahead of APEC 2027, charter passengers will be served in a fully separate facility, aligned with Changi standards—before enjoying seamless transfers to their resorts.
The second runway, built to ICAO 4E standards, will be capable of accommodating heavy jets such as the Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global. Private aircraft will benefit from significantly enhanced flexibility, avoiding congestion with commercial traffic.
APEC 2027 alone is expected to bring hundreds of heads of state, CEOs, and high-level delegations requiring charter services. JetVina is honored to provide private aviation solutions, premium flight experiences, and fully personalized services for distinguished leaders and executives, both domestic and international.
What Does Phu Quoc Offer for Luxury Travelers?
Whether arriving by private jet or business class, Phu Quoc now presents a luxury ecosystem of experiences, capable of competing with any island destination across Asia.
Three Global Brands, One Island
Phu Quoc is rapidly emerging as one of Southeast Asia’s most concentrated luxury hospitality markets. Regent Phu Quoc—featured in the MICHELIN Key 2025 selection and recognized by Travel + Leisure and Robb Report—stands as its brightest gem, offering beachfront villas, private pools, Oku Omakase restaurant, and the exclusive Serenity yacht experience.
JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay, designed by legendary architect Bill Bensley with a 19th-century French university concept, delivers one of Vietnam’s most distinctive resort experiences, alongside the Michelin-starred Pink Pearl restaurant.
Coming soon: Park Hyatt Phu Quoc, the first Park Hyatt resort in Vietnam, spanning 160 acres with low-rise villas set among rice fields, a lakeside spa, and an organic farm—expected to open in Q2 2026.
PREMIER GOLF
Two International Championship Courses on One Island
Phu Quoc offers a rare privilege: two internationally designed championship golf courses within easy reach. Eschuri Vung Bau Golf, an 18-hole links course designed by IMG and opened in 2024, stretches 7,508 yards from pristine forest to untouched coastline—tee off at sunset for an experience unlike anywhere else in Vietnam.
Alongside it, Vinpearl Golf Phu Quoc, also designed by IMG, is an 18-hole par-72 course awarded Asia’s Most Memorable Golf Course 2019. Wildlife such as monkeys, deer, and peacocks roam freely across the fairways. Two courses, two landscapes, two entirely distinct rounds.
OCEAN DISCOVERY
Snorkeling with OnBird – Touch the Underwater World

YACHTING & SUNSET DINING

The Sunset BBQ experience blends freshly caught seafood, ocean breezes, and golden twilight—creating an unhurried evening set against the open sea.
Entertainment Parks, Night Markets, Casino & Holistic Wellness
In the southern part of the island, the Hon Thom Cable Car—recognized as the world’s longest three-rope cable car system—connects visitors to Sun Group’s expansive entertainment complex.
Corona Casino, Vietnam’s first legal casino open to local players, offers a world-class gaming experience set along the beachfront.
From destination spas with fully personalized programs to sunrise rooftop yoga overlooking the ocean, Phu Quoc invites guests to restore and renew from within.
30-Day Visa Exemption
No Paperwork, No Hassle
Phu Quoc is the only destination in Vietnam offering up to 30 days of visa-free entry for all international travelers, regardless of nationality. Simply arrive directly by air or sea, present a return ticket—and your holiday begins immediately.
