Immediately after landing, the flight was welcomed with activities such as: a water cannon ceremony; presenting flowers and gifts for passengers; traditional art performances; and commemorative photos with passengers. In the opposite direction, the flight departing from Cam Ranh and landing in Phu Quoc at 6 PM officially established a direct route connecting two major tourist centers of Vietnam.

For many years, despite being prominent beach tourist destinations, Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa) and Phu Quoc (An Giang) have lacked direct flights, resulting in extended travel times. The introduction of this direct flight is expected to strengthen connectivity between the South Central and Southwest coastal regions, facilitating two-way travel and expanding access for international tourists to both destinations. Simultaneously, direct air connections will enable tourism businesses to develop multi-destination products and itineraries. The flight time between Cam Ranh and Phu Quoc is estimated at only 1 hour and 20 minutes, allowing tourists to combine multiple destinations in a single trip.
