Indian travellers looking for a new beach escape will soon be able to fly directly to Vietnam’s scenic island of Phu Quoc, thanks to a partnership between MakeMyTrip and Air India Express. The travel major has launched exclusive holiday packages to Phu Quoc with direct charter flights starting December 9, 2025, cutting travel time from around eight hours (via connecting routes) to just five hours.
The exclusive direct flights will depart every five days through the upcoming winter season, marking the first-ever direct connectivity between India and Phu Quoc.
Jasmeet Singh, Chief Commercial Officer – Holidays & Experiences, MakeMyTrip, said:
“Indian travellers today are looking for destinations that offer unique experiences, easy access, and great value. Phu Quoc fits the bill but has remained underexplored due to the lack of direct connectivity. We’re now making this scenic island far more accessible for Indian holidaymakers this winter.”
He added that MakeMyTrip’s Phu Quoc packages include Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals, curated Vietnamese cuisine, and a mix of comfort and discovery, tailored for Indian travellers.
