Sun Group and Changi Airports International (CAI) have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to support the development of Phu Quoc International Airport in Vietnam. Under the partnership, CAI will provide advisory services to enhance airport operations, commercial programs, air connectivity, capacity, and service standards.
The collaboration aims to transform Phu Quoc International Airport into a travel destination offering world-class service and seamless experiences ahead of the APEC 2027 Summit, where the airport expects to host global leaders and international visitors. This strengthens Phu Quoc’s position as an emerging aviation and tourism hub in the Asia-Pacific region.
Phu Quoc International Airport handled about 6 million passengers in 2025, with rapid growth and record international flights during peak periods. The government-approved master plan includes a new runway and Terminal 2, projecting capacity for 24 million passengers annually, scalable to 50 million long-term.
CAI will work with Sun Group to manage the airport to international standards, drawing on extensive exchanges in Vietnam and Singapore. Singapore Changi Airport is renowned for operational excellence and as a destination itself, while Sun Group has developed integrated tourism ecosystems in Vietnam.
Dang Minh Truong, chairman of Sun Group, stated: ‘Airports today play a far greater role than transportation infrastructure. They are gateways that shape the first impression of a destination. 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, CEO of CAI, noted: ‘We are impressed by Sun Group’s vision for developing Phu Quoc as the next upcoming travel destination. We look forward to contributing our expertise to enable Sun Group to create a world-class airport experience.’
