Sun PhuQuoc Airways Signs Deal to Buy Four Spare Engines

Sun PhuQuoc Airways announced a purchase agreement with CFM International on November 10, 2026, for four spare LEAP-1A engines, with an option to buy up to four more. The airline said the engines will support its expanding A320neo fleet; any additional purchases will depend on its fleet development needs.

The agreement also includes extended warranties for engines, modules and parts, including life-limited parts, as well as support for upgrades and technical modifications. The two sides plan to work together directly over the long term on warranties and technical support throughout the service life of the LEAP-1A engines.

Sun PhuQuoc Airways currently operates 20 narrowbody aircraft powered by CFM International engines. Of these, 18 A320neo and A321neo aircraft use LEAP-1A engines, while two A321ceo aircraft use CFM56-5B engines. The airline said additional spare engines will help maintain flight operations and provide resources for fleet expansion.

The agreement was announced one year after the airline began commercial operations. It aims to expand its fleet to 33 aircraft by the end of 2026 and approximately 100 by 2030, while expanding its route network and strengthening Phu Quoc’s connections with international markets. CFM International is a joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines.
