Phu Quoc International Airport

Phu Quoc International Airport is an international airport that serves Phú Quốc Island, in southern Vietnam. It covers nearly 900 hectares of land in the former commune of Dương TÆ¡, about south of the administrative centre of Phu Quoc special zone. It is built at a cost of around VND 16.2 trillion (US$810 million) and is planned to be built in phases. The airport is 10 km from the previous Phu Quoc Airport, which it replaced in December 2012. The airport was initially able to handle about 2.5 million passengers per annum, and the maximum capacity will be 7 million passengers per annum. The airport has a single runway, capable of handling aircraft like the Airbus A350 and Boeing 747. The construction was completed in November 2012 and was put into operation on 2 December 2012. The Government of Vietnam expects the airport to facilitate the arrival of international tourists who are attracted to the island's beaches.

History

Airports Corporation of Vietnam began construction of the airport on 23 November 2008 with an investment of VND 3,000 billion. It was designed by Singaporean-US design consulting firm CPG-PAE. After four years work the airport operated its inaugural flight on 15 December 2012.

In 2025, Sun Group was approved to be the main investor of the airport's major expansion plan, which includes the construction of a brand new runway alongside the lengthening of the current counterpart, alongside new terminals and facilities for APEC 2027 and long-term developments on the island. The ownership of the airport was transferred to Sun Group from the Airports Corporation of Vietnam in November 2025. Following Sun Group's investment, the airport is being upgraded with a new runway alongside extending the existing airstrip, alongside new terminals and ground facilities to serve APEC 2027, which will be hosted in the island.
