The period from October to April of the following year is usually the peak tourist season in Phu Quoc, with many additional or increased flight routes. Many businesses in the travel, hotel, and restaurant sectors on the island are preparing their facilities, personnel, and products to be ready to welcome tourists.
In late 2024 and early 2025, it is expected that more than 20 airlines will operate flights to Phu Quoc, both regular and charter, with over 100 flights per week from various countries and territories. Specifically, during this period, Phu Quoc will receive flights from Poland by Lot Polish Airlines with a frequency of 3 pairs of flights per week; from Russia by Iraero Airlines with a frequency of 1 pair of flights per week; from Kazakhstan by Air Astana with a frequency of 3 pairs of flights per week; from Kazakhstan by Scat Airlines with a frequency of 3 pairs of flights per week; from Uzbekistan by Uzebskitan Airways with a frequency of 2 pairs of flights per week; and from the Czech Republic and Slovakia by World2Fly with a frequency of 2 pairs of flights per week.

According to the Kien Giang Department of Tourism, Phu Quoc is currently the only destination in Vietnam with a special visa policy for foreigners and Vietnamese citizens holding foreign passports. Entry, exit, and residence on the island are visa-free, with a temporary stay of up to 30 days.
This visa exemption policy simplifies procedures for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) groups, which typically have a large number of participants. Thanks to this policy, many international flights are now operating in Phu Quoc, with regular flights connecting to South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia, and soon more routes to Northern Europe, North America, and Central Asia.
For Southeast Asian markets, Phu Quoc receives flights from Malaysia operated by AirAsia with a frequency of 1 pair of flights/day; flights from Thailand to Phu Quoc are operated by two airlines: Thai Vietjet with a frequency of 2 pairs of flights/day and AirAsia with a frequency of 1 pair of flights/day; flights from Singapore are operated by Scoot Airlines with a frequency of 5 pairs of flights/week.
Phu Quoc is Vietnam's first island city.
In particular, during this year's tourist season, Phu Quoc will welcome a large number of visitors from the Northeast Asian market, with numerous flights from various airlines from South Korea and China (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Guangzhou...), for example, China Southern Airlines (1 pair of flights per day), Starlux Airlines (3 pairs of flights per week), TigerAir Taiwan (2 pairs of flights per day), Jin Air (1 pair of flights per day), Jeju Air (1 pair of flights per day); Korean Airlines (2 pairs of flights per day); Eastar Jet (1 pair of flights per day); Hongkong Express (1 pair of flights per day)...
