Vietnam Airlines has announced plans to launch a standalone cargo airline in 2026, following a surge in international freight demand.<\/p>\n
The airline\u2019s chief executive Le Hong Ha revealed the move at the airline\u2019s annual shareholder meeting on 25 June 2025.<\/p>\n
In Q2 2025, cargo made up 65% of the carrier\u2019s revenue, helping it post a quarterly profit before tax of VN\u01101 trillion and forecast over VN\u01104 trillion for H1 2025.<\/p>\n
To support the cargo shift, the airline says it will convert several A321s for freight use by late 2025 and invest in logistics hubs at Long Th\u00e0nh and Gia B\u00ecnh airports.<\/p>\n
However, Ha acknowledged some inherent risks in the air cargo market, warning of cost pressures from high fuel prices and geopolitical tensions. In response, Vietnam Airlines<\/a> says it is leasing more aircraft and engines, diversifying its customer base, and expanding digital and international partnerships.<\/p>\n READ MORE NEWS: Safran data platform to power predictive maintenance at Vietnam Airlines<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The post Vietnam Airlines unveils cargo airline plans as freight surges<\/a> appeared first on Aviation Business News<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vietnam Airlines has announced plans to launch a standalone cargo airline in 2026, following a surge in international freight demand.
