The carrier is expanding services and capacity in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City
Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Airways, is celebrating a decade of successful operations in Vietnam. This milestone highlights the carrier’s commitment to supporting Vietnam’s booming trade and economic growth, particularly in the high-tech and manufacturing sectors.
Since the launch of freighter services in July 2014, Etihad Cargo has continuously expanded its operations in Vietnam. The airline began with two A330 freighter flights to Hanoi per week, offering 120 tonnes of cargo capacity.
Etihad Cargo operates four weekly Boeing 777F freighter flights, providing 400 tonnes of capacity to support the growing market demand.
In addition to its Hanoi operations, Etihad Cargo also serves Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s second-largest air cargo market. The carrier offers two weekly charter flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Kuala Lumpur, effectively creating an online station to provide customers with a reliable solution for transporting cargo globally via Kuala Lumpur.
SecureTech
Etihad Cargo’s SecureTech product, introduced to support the growing demand for electronics shipments, has seen significant growth in Vietnam. In 2024, SecureTech shipments from Hanoi saw a 43 per cent year-on-year increase, rising to 5,174 tonnes from 3,618 tonnes during the same period in 2023.
“By continually enhancing its products and services, expanding capacity, and investing in digitalisation, Etihad Cargo ensures that customers receive the high-quality air cargo solutions they expect,” remarked Stanislas Brun, Vice President, Etihad Cargo.
Etihad Cargo has also made significant strides in digitalisation, with the majority of Vietnamese customers utilising the carrier’s online booking platform and track-and-trace capabilities. As Etihad Cargo continues to support Vietnam’s economic growth, the airline is committed to providing reliable and innovative air cargo solutions that help drive the country’s expanding trade footprint.
