HANOI, June 13 (Reuters) - Vietnam's newly established

Sun PhuQuoc Airways will initially operate Airbus's narrow-body

aircraft, including the A321neo, it said on Friday.

The airline is also in talks with Boeing ( BA ) to purchase

wide-body aircraft, including Boeing 787-9 and Boeing 787-10

jets, it said in a statement.

State media reported last month the airline aimed launch its

maiden flight in the fourth quarter of this year and to expand

its fleet to 31 planes by the end of 2030.

The company aims to begin ticket sales from the end of

October, it said in its Friday statement.

Sun PhuQuoc will focus on services between Phu Quoc

Island and Vietnam's major cities, including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh

City and Danang, and also destinations in Japan, South Korea and

China, it said.
