TREE NEWS update: Vietnam’s Sun PhuQuoc Airways and its official GSA for East and North China, Beijing Xianghe International Transport Services, announced three direct routes from Shanghai to Vietnam. The Shanghai–Ho Chi Minh City service is scheduled to launch on October 15, 2026 with seven weekly flights. Shanghai–Hanoi is planned for November 2026 and Shanghai–Phu Quoc for March 2027.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways to Launch Three Shanghai-Vietnam Direct Routes
The significance lies less in the routes themselves than in the sequencing: Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi are established business and leisure corridors, while Phu Quoc is the newest destination in the network and arrives last. For a carrier pairing a Vietnamese airline with a China-based GSA, that order suggests capacity is being built around proven demand rather than speculative tourism growth. Whether the Phu Quoc launch holds its March 2027 slot, and whether the earlier routes sustain seven weekly frequencies, is the open question.
