Air Freight
Air freight handles a small share of global cargo volume but a significant share of global trade value, particularly for goods that require rapid delivery or strict handling conditions. Industries such as electronics, garments, pharmaceuticals, and perishables rely on air cargo to maintain production schedules and meet international market demand.
For exporters in Vietnam, air freight provides a practical solution when delivery timelines are tight, product value is high, or supply chains require rapid replenishment. With international airports in Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) and Hanoi (HAN) serving as major air cargo gateways, Vietnamese businesses are well positioned to connect with global markets through air transport.

Vantage Logistics provides international air freight services that helps businesses move cargo quickly while maintaining visibility over schedules, documentation, and logistics coordination.

Access to Global Airline Cargo Networks
Air freight capacity often fluctuates during peak export seasons, particularly for industries such as textiles, electronics, and perishables. Vantage Logistics works with international airline cargo systems to arrange cargo space and coordinate shipment schedules based on customer requirements.
Our air freight services include:
- Cargo booking through international airline networks
- Flexible flight options depending on transit time requirements
- Freight planning based on cargo size, weight, and urgency

This coordination helps exporters align shipping schedules with production and delivery commitments.

Major Air Cargo Gateways in Vietnam
Vietnam’s air freight activities are concentrated around two key international airports:
Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) – Ho Chi Minh City
- Primary gateway for exports from southern Vietnam
- Strong cargo volumes in garments, electronics, and seafood
Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) – Hanoi
- Key air cargo hub for northern Vietnam
- Handles electronics, industrial components, and high-value exports
Vantage Logistics coordinates cargo movement to these airports through domestic trucking and export handling processes before airline uplift.
Air Freight Solutions for Different Cargo Types
International air cargo shipments often require strict compliance with airline procedures and documentation standards. Vantage Logistics supports a range of cargo types commonly transported by air.
-
General Cargo
For commercial goods requiring faster transit times than sea freight:
- Garments and textiles
- Electronics and components
- Consumer goods
- Industrial spare parts
-
Express and Time-Sensitive Shipments
When production schedules or market demand require rapid delivery, air freight provides the fastest international transport option.
Vantage Logistics coordinates:
- Priority cargo booking on available flights
- Fast documentation processing

-
Temperature-Controlled Cargo
Certain goods must remain within controlled temperature ranges during transportation. Vantage Logistics coordinates temperature-sensitive shipments with airline cargo handling systems, including:
- Pharmaceutical products
- Perishable food and seafood
- Temperature-sensitive chemicals
Shipment preparation and documentation follow airline cargo handling procedures to maintain product integrity during transit.
-
Dangerous Goods (DG)
Transporting hazardous materials by air requires strict adherence to international aviation safety regulations.
Vantage Logistics arranges dangerous goods shipments in accordance with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR), including:
- Cargo classification and documentation verification
- Packaging and labelling compliance
- Airline acceptance procedures
These processes ensure shipments meet international aviation safety requirements.
-
Oversized or Special Cargo
Certain industrial equipment or specialised cargo may require customised loading arrangements. Vantage Logistics coordinates with airlines to arrange transport solutions for oversized cargo where aircraft capacity allows.
Operational planning may include:
- Cargo dimension verification
- Aircraft loading coordination
- Airport cargo terminal handling arrangements
This allows specialised shipments to be transported by air when required.
Integrated Logistics and Door-to-Door Coordination
Air freight operations often involve multiple stages beyond the airport itself. Vantage Logistics coordinates the full logistics chain through domestic and international partners, including:
- Export customs clearance in Vietnam
- Airport cargo terminal handling
- Import customs clearance at destination
- Inland transport to warehouses or factories
Through a global logistics partner network, shipments can be managed from the point of origin in Vietnam to the final delivery location.
Shipment Monitoring and Logistics Visibility
Air cargo movements require close coordination between airlines, airports, customs authorities, and logistics providers. Vantage Logistics provides shipment monitoring throughout the transport process, helping businesses track cargo status and manage delivery timelines.
Operational teams monitor:
- Flight schedules and transit times
- Cargo handling at airports
- Customs clearance progress
This visibility helps exporters maintain control over international shipments.
