## Description

With roughly 729,000 tonnes handled in the first nine months of 2025 and double-digit annual growth, Noi Bai ranks as Vietnam's leading air cargo airport ahead of Ho Chi Minh City. The traffic reflects the electronics belt north of Hanoi: Samsung's smartphone plants in Bac Ninh and Thai Nguyen, along with other high-tech manufacturers, ship most of their output by air. Cargo is processed by dedicated operators, chiefly Noi Bai Cargo Terminal Services (NCTS) plus ACSV and ALSC, with NCTS running a terminal of around 44,000 square metres. Vietnam Airlines Cargo and a range of international carriers and freighters link Noi Bai to East Asia, Europe and North America. Typical commodities are electronics and components, garments and temperature-controlled goods. Expressways tie the airport to northern Vietnam's industrial zones and to the deep-water port of Lach Huyen near Hai Phong, supporting combined sea-air flows. Ongoing terminal expansion is set to raise capacity further, keeping the airport central to forwarders serving the north.
