It all began back in JUL14, when Etihad Cargo launched its first cargo operations to Hanoi, Vietnam. At the time, it deployed two A300F with an upload of 120 tons, on the route. Since then, the airline has continued to grow its network and today has four weekly Boeing 777F flights lined up to Hanoi, offering the market a 400-ton cargo uplift. Two weekly charter flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Kuala Lumpur, have since joined the Etihad Cargo schedule. This connection out of Vietnam’s second-largest air cargo market, provides a reliable online solution for international cargo exports via Kuala Lumpur.

“Etihad Cargo has played a crucial role in transporting high-tech goods for major global brands such as Samsung, Apple, Dell, and LG, alongside garments, textiles, footwear, and other products from Vietnam to Europe, the US, the Middle East, and Africa,” the release states. Electronics are an ever-growing favorite: “In 2024, SecureTech shipments from Hanoi saw a 43% year-on-year increase, rising to 5,174 tons from 3,618 tons during the same period in 2023.” Amazing statistics in the face of one of one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Etihad Cargo states that it will further expand its frequencies and capacity to Vietnam. It also reveals that its Vietnamese customers mainly book via the airline’s online booking platform, these days.
Stanislas Brun, Vice President Cargo, said: “Etihad Cargo’s decade of successful operations in Hanoi and across Vietnam demonstrates the carrier’s long-term commitment to this dynamic market. By continually enhancing its products and services, expanding capacity, and investing in digitalization, Etihad Cargo ensures that customers receive the high-quality air cargo solutions they expect. Etihad Cargo looks forward to further strengthening its presence and meeting the evolving logistics needs of Vietnam.”
