Vietnam Air Cargo Transport: Breakthrough in the First 9 Months of 2025 – A Golden Opportunity for Import–Export Businesses

Vietnam’s aviation industry is witnessing significant strides, particularly in air cargo transport – a key driver of global trade and logistics. According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, the first nine months of 2025 recorded a historic peak in airfreight volume, unlocking new opportunities for import–export businesses.

Impressive Growth: Over 1 Million Tons of Cargo in Just 9 Months

From December 15, 2024, to September 15, 2025, total air cargo volume surpassed 1 million tons, marking a nearly 19% increase compared to the same period in 2024 – a clear reflection of the market’s booming demand.

• International freight: Accounted for the largest share with more than 946,000 tons, up nearly 23%. Key routes connecting Asia – Europe – the U.S. continued to dominate, driven by exports of electronics, textiles, high-quality agricultural products, and cross-border e-commerce.
• Domestic freight: Although slower in growth, the domestic segment still reached 169,000 tons, up slightly by 0.2%, ensuring the flow of goods between major production and consumption hubs such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, and emerging industrial centers.

This milestone reinforces Vietnam’s position as a key regional air cargo hub, particularly as demand surges for exports of agricultural products, electronic components, and cross-border e-commerce.

Golden Opportunities for Logistics and Import–Export Businesses

With nearly 20% growth in air cargo transport, import–export enterprises are now presented with significant advantages:

• Fast and reliable international delivery: Air freight remains the top choice for time-sensitive goods such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and fresh agricultural products.
• Boost for cross-border e-commerce: The global e-commerce boom demands frequent and highly reliable air logistics services.
• Expanded export markets: Airlines increasing capacity and launching new international routes enable Vietnamese goods to reach the U.S., EU, Japan, and the Middle East more quickly.

In today’s competitive global landscape, businesses that leverage flexible and optimized air cargo solutions will secure a strong advantage across the supply chain.

Outlook for Late 2025 and Beyond The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam aims to further expand international connectivity, conduct market research, and deliver accurate demand forecasts to provide timely policy recommendations. In the final months of 2025, import–export cargo volume is expected to keep rising, particularly during the 2026 Lunar New Year period. This momentum promises to sustain strong growth for the air cargo industry while reinforcing Vietnam’s position as a strategic cargo transit hub in the Asia–Pacific region.
