At exactly 01:00 on January 1, 2026, flight W207 from Busan (South Korea) landed at Phu Quoc International Airport. Right at the arrivals area, representatives of Phu Quoc International Airport extended a warm welcome along with the very best New Year wishes to all passengers.

Notably, the guests also received special gifts - experience vouchers for entertainment services at Sunset Town with a value of up to 1 million VND per guest.

Ms. Kim Min-soo from South Korea, one of the first passengers to arrive, happily shared: “This is my first time in Phu Quoc. We were truly surprised to receive New Year’s greetings and gifts from the airport right after stepping off the plane. I feel delighted and very excited about my first trip of the year.”

The welcome event took place as Phu Quoc had just concluded a year of exceptional growth. Over the past year, Pearl Island is estimated to have welcomed more than 8.1 million visitors, including nearly 2 million international arrivals, bringing in record revenue of nearly 44 trillion VND - more than double that of the previous year. On average, the island receives around 100 flights per day, with almost 50% being international services.

In line with the growth momentum of the destination, passenger throughput at Phu Quoc International Airport also increased by 44% compared to the same period last year and is expected to reach around 8 million passengers in 2026.
