Gulfstream Aerospace named Hanoi-based Sun Air the authorized international sales representative in Vietnam. Under the agreement with Gulfstream, Sun Air will promote and support Gulfstream customers and prospects throughout the country.

The first company of its kind in Vietnam, Sun Air will provide aircraft sales, management, and charter services for private aircraft owners, Gulfstream said. Sun Air operates a G650ER and will add a G700 to the fleet once it is certified and delivered.

“Interest in Gulfstream aircraft continues to grow in Asia, and we are looking forward to continuing to expand our presence and efforts in Vietnam,” said Scott Neal, senior v-p of worldwide sales for Gulfstream. “Sun Air is not only a valued customer, they will also provide Gulfstream local expertise and opportunities to expand our presence in this important market.”

Sun Group chairman Dang Minh Truong called the appointment a key milestone in its development road map for general aviation. The company has continued to diversify and expand its business interest over the past 15 years, including in tourism brands, real estate, and infrastructure. Sun Air invested in Van Don International Airport, the first to be privately owned in Vietnam.
