Location
Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam
Phú Quốc International Airport (IATA: PQC, ICAO: VVPQ) is the primary airport serving Phú Quốc Island, the largest island in Vietnam, located in the Gulf of Thailand off the southern coast. The airport serves as a vital link between the island and major Vietnamese cities as well as international destinations, supporting the rapid tourism development that has transformed Phú Quốc into a leading resort destination. The current modern airport replaced an older facility and was designed to accommodate the significant growth in visitor numbers driven by the island's expanding luxury hotel and resort infrastructure. It handles both domestic routes connecting to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and other Vietnamese cities, as well as direct international flights from regional hubs across Asia. Phú Quốc Island itself is renowned for its beaches, national park, and fish sauce production. The airport plays a central role in the local economy, facilitating tourism that has boomed particularly since the 2010s following major investments by resort developers and the granting of visa-free status to foreign visitors under certain conditions.
Terminals
The airport features a single modern passenger terminal capable of handling millions of passengers annually with both domestic and international processing facilities.
Getting to & from
Taxis, ride-hailing services, and hotel shuttle buses are the primary means of ground transport connecting the airport to resorts and towns across the island, as public transit infrastructure remains limited.
Airlines here
Major carriers include Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, and Bamboo Airways, with various international carriers operating seasonal and charter services from regional Asian markets.
