Sun Group "joins hands" with Canadian Aviation Electronics Ltd to develop international standard Sun Aviation Academy in Vietnam

On August 25, Sun Group officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Canadian Aviation Electronics Ltd (CAE), a global leader in aviation training, to develop Sun Aviation Academy with experience operating in more than 40 countries, helping young talents in this specialized field to be trained to international standards.

According to the cooperation agreement, Sun Group, in partnership with CAE, will develop the Sun Aviation Academy – building training programs that meet international standards, closely integrating theory, practice, and real-world experience. The Academy is expected to become a pioneering model in aviation training in Vietnam in areas such as training equipment, flight simulation technology, and aviation training solutions, and a place where young Vietnamese people can access modern knowledge, advanced technology, and a global mindset.

Sun Group officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Canadian Aviation Electronics Ltd on August 25, 2025.

CAE, a global icon from Canada in aviation training with over 75 years of experience and a network of centers worldwide , has partnered with Sun Aviation Academy to develop an Approved Training Organization (ATO) program that complies with the regulations of the Vietnam Civil Aviation Authority and meets the standards of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization)/IATA (International Air Transport Association). Accordingly, Sun Aviation Academy will train pilots, flight attendants, ground staff, etc., not only meeting the human resource training needs of Sun Phu Quoc Airways but also positioning Sun Aviation Academy as a leading aviation training center in the region, ready to provide high-quality personnel for this field.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Manh Quan, Director of Sun Group's Sun Aviation Academy, affirmed that CAE's partnership is a key factor in ensuring Sun Group's Sun Aviation Academy becomes a world-class training center. Mr. Quan emphasized: “Through this cooperation, Sun Group not only aims to train and provide high-quality pilots, flight attendants, and aviation personnel, but also contributes to enhancing Vietnam's competitiveness in the aviation sector. This is a strategic move by Sun Group, both consolidating the service- tourism -aviation ecosystem that the Group is creating, and building a solid foundation for Vietnam to become a reliable destination for international airlines, as well as a reputable training center in the region for young talents aspiring to conquer the skies.”

Mr. Al Contrino pledged that CAE would work alongside Sun Group to build a sustainable workforce for the aviation industry.

The collaboration between Sun Group and CAE not only opens up opportunities for training high-quality aviation human resources but also marks a significant step in the international integration journey of Vietnam's aviation service industry. With the synergy between CAE's global experience and Sun Group's strategic vision, the Sun Aviation Academy will become an ideal environment for young talents aspiring to conquer the skies, contributing to Vietnam's rise to international prominence.

Sun Aviation Academy will not only meet the human resource training needs of Sun Phu Quoc Airways, but will also become a leading aviation training center in the region, ready to provide high-quality personnel for this field.

Over nearly two decades of development, Sun Group has become one of Vietnam's leading private economic groups, pioneering the creation of a comprehensive ecosystem encompassing tourism, entertainment, high-end real estate, infrastructure, and finance. Recently, Sun Group further expanded into the aviation sector with Sun PhuQuoc Airways, completing a comprehensive ecosystem from ground to air and bringing Vietnam, especially Phu Quoc, closer to the world. Therefore, studying at the Sun Aviation Academy offers students a distinct advantage: not only access to internationally standardized training programs, but also guaranteed career opportunities within Sun Group's aviation ecosystem, particularly at Sun PhuQuoc Airways and Sun Air. This is a significant plus, providing students with a clear, solid, and prestigious career path immediately after graduation.

Sun Group has created many iconic tourist attractions throughout Vietnam, including the Kiss of the Sea show in Sunset Town, which recently set a Guinness World Record.

In the first half of 2025, Vietnam's aviation industry experienced a strong recovery, with a total of approximately 41.3 million passengers – a 10% increase compared to the same period last year. Of these, international passengers accounted for 23 million (a 13% increase) and domestic passengers reached 18.4 million (a 7% increase). This confirms the significant demand for high-quality aviation personnel in Vietnam. The establishment of the Sun Aviation Academy in partnership with CAE not only demonstrates Sun Group's long-term goal of improving the quality of aviation services but also ensures a professional training and recruitment process for young talents domestically, contributing to the proactive development of a sustainable workforce for the future, not only for Sun PhuQuoc Airways or Sun Air but also for the entire Vietnamese aviation industry.
