Air Cargo During the Vietnam National Day: Strong Growth in Cargo Volume Creates Opportunities for Vietnam’s Logistics Industry

During the National Day holiday on September 2, 2025, Vietnam’s air cargo sector recorded positive growth, reaffirming the role of aviation in ensuring seamless supply chains and meeting the rising demand for logistics services.

Impressive Growth During the National Day Holiday

During the National Day holiday on September 2, 2025, Vietnam’s aviation sector recorded remarkable growth in air cargo transport. According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, the total cargo volume reached 14,601 tons, an increase of 10.86% compared to the same period in 2024. This is a positive signal, reflecting the rising demand for air freight, even during peak travel seasons.

Beyond serving passengers, cargo has also become a key driver, contributing to operational efficiency and optimizing the capacity of airlines and airports alike.

International Cargo Accelerates – The Main Driver of the Market

Out of the total volume, international cargo reached 12,800 tons, up 15.46% compared to the same period last year. This was the fastest-growing segment, reflecting deeper global integration and the rising demand for international trade.

In contrast, domestic cargo transport reached only 1,801 tons, down 13.51%. This indicates that import-export businesses are prioritizing international routes, particularly key markets such as the U.S., EU, China, and ASEAN.

This trend underscores the urgent need for Vietnam’s air logistics system to strengthen infrastructure, expand international services, and enhance capabilities in handling specialized cargo (perishable goods, dangerous goods, high-value cargo, etc.).

Key Airports – Pillars of Air Cargo Transport

During the holiday, major international airports all recorded steady growth:

• Tân Sơn Nhất (Ho Chi Minh City): Leveraging its position as the economic hub of the South, the airport continues to serve as a key international cargo gateway, contributing significantly to total freight volume.
• Nội Bài (Hanoi): With 2,296 flights and stable international cargo volume, it remains a crucial transit point for the Northeast Asian and U.S. markets.
• Đà Nẵng: Although smaller in scale, it is emerging as a cargo transit hub for Central Vietnam, particularly in electronics and seafood logistics.

The coordinated development of these three key airports helps maintain seamless supply chains during peak periods.

New Trend: The Growing Importance of Air Logistics

The strong growth of international cargo during the holiday highlights:

• The increasing role of air freight in import-export – thanks to its speed and high reliability.
• The rising demand for specialized logistics services – as businesses require partners well-versed in international procedures, documentation, and operations.
• The trend of transport diversification – air freight is no longer just direct routes but also integrated with sea, road, and rail transport to optimize both cost and time.
