The authorities of Vietnam have launched a series of major transport infrastructure projects in Phu Quoc in 2027. Key developments include the comprehensive upgrade of Phu Quoc International Airport and the construction of an 18 km urban rail transit line with a total investment of USD341 million.
Phu Quoc International Airport is being upgraded to ICAO 4E standards, with capacity expanded to accommodate wide-body aircraft, 120 aircraft parking stands and up to 20 million passengers per year. Passenger and VVIP terminals will be equipped with advanced Total Airport Management systems, biometric processing and automated baggage handling. The Phase 1 urban rail line will span 18 km with six stations, including one underground station, and is designed to transport over 4,500 passengers per hour. In parallel, the 19.26 km DT.975 arterial road is being expanded to six lanes, with 15 m reserved for an electric tramway.
Together, these investments aim to strengthen international connectivity, reduce intra-island travel times and support Phu Quoc’s growth as a regional transport and tourism hub during the 2025–2030 period.
