Location

Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam

Phú Quốc International Airport (IATA: PQC, ICAO: VVPQ) is the primary airport serving Phu Quoc Island, the largest island in Vietnam located in the Gulf of Thailand near the Cambodian border. The airport handles a significant volume of domestic and international tourist traffic, reflecting the island's rapid development as a premier resort destination. The current international airport replaced the older military-era airfield and was developed to accommodate the surge in tourism following Phu Quoc's designation as a special economic zone. It serves direct routes from major Vietnamese cities as well as international destinations across Asia. The airport is operated under the management of Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) and plays a central role in the island's economy, which is heavily dependent on tourism. Passenger numbers have grown substantially over the years, though the COVID-19 pandemic caused a sharp but temporary decline.

Terminals

Getting to & from

Ground transport from the airport to resorts and towns on the island is primarily served by taxis, ride-hailing apps, and private hotel shuttles, as no public bus network directly serves the airport.
