Travelling from Gujarat to Vietnam is set to get significantly easier as Vietnam’s Sun Phú Quốc Airways (SPA) announced non-stop flights between Ahmedabad and Phú Quốc, the popular tourist destination known as Pearl Island, starting December 2, 2026.
The launch marks the airline's maiden route in India. Initially operating five days a week, the direct service will spare travellers from Gujarat the hassle of connecting flights and long stopovers.
Flight Schedule, Aircraft and Fare Details
Sun Phú Quốc Airways will deploy an Airbus A321neo aircraft on the route, offering a full-service flying experience. Return fares start at ₹30,000, inclusive of onboard meals, 23 kg of check-in baggage, and 7 kg of cabin baggage.
Flights from Phú Quốc will operate every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Beginning February 2027, the airline plans to scale up the service to daily operations across all seven days of the week.
- Flight 9G315 (Phú Quốc to Ahmedabad): Departs Phú Quốc at 7:35 pm and lands at Ahmedabad airport at 11:30 pm local time.
- Flight 9G314 (Ahmedabad to Phú Quốc): Departs Ahmedabad at 1:00 am and arrives in Phú Quốc at 7:15 am. The early morning touchdown allows holidaymakers to make the most of their trip right from the first day.
20 Per Cent Discount and Tailored Indian Menu
Passengers booking tickets through the airline's website or mobile app between October 16 and December 13, 2026, will receive an additional 20 per cent discount on the base fare for travel up to March 31, 2027.
Keeping the cultural and religious preferences of Indian flyers in mind, the carrier has also curated a special menu of food and beverages for the flights.
Boost to Bilateral Tourism and Expansion Plans
Even without direct air links, Phú Quốc welcomed roughly 1,50,000 Indian tourists in 2025—a massive 328 per cent jump over the previous year. Overall, Vietnam recorded 7,46,000 tourist arrivals from India during the same period. Meanwhile, data from India’s Ministry of Tourism shows that 54,091 Vietnamese tourists visited India in 2024.
Beyond Phú Quốc, the new direct link will simplify onward travel to major Vietnamese cities including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Van Don, and Hai Phong. Sun Phú Quốc Airways also plans to expand its Indian footprint by launching flights from Delhi and Mumbai in the first quarter of 2027.
Tran Viet Loi, Sales Director at Sun Phú Quốc Airways, stated that launching the Ahmedabad–Phú Quốc route builds an essential air bridge between India and Vietnam. He added that the non-stop service brings both destinations closer and makes trip planning much simpler for passengers.
