Sun PhuQuoc Airways received an Air Operator Certificate and Approved Training Organisation certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam on 25 September 2025, clearing regulatory hurdles and allowing the carrier to independently train crew. The airline is targeting a Q4 2025 launch with A321neo aircraft.

Briefing
CAAV issued both an AOC and an ATO on 25 Sep 2025, enabling Sun PhuQuoc to commence operations and run its own training programmes — see its rollout of the first painted A321neo as part of launch preparations.
The new carrier increases capacity and competition in Vietnam’s market at a moment when national carriers are expanding fleet plans, including procurement processes for widebodies that will shape long‑haul network dynamics in 2028–32 (Vietnam Airlines widebody procurement process).
This approval follows a regional wave of late‑stage AOC moves in APAC this quarter, underlining regulatory momentum for new entrants and ACMI/ACFT capacity shifts (recent AOC milestones in the region).
