Rice, shrimp and Gulf-of-Thailand fish define the economy that Rach Gia Airport (VKG) sits within, in Kien Giang province on the western edge of the Mekong Delta. A short runway limits the field largely to turboprop services, with Vietnam Airlines maintaining the link to Ho Chi Minh City. The airport offers no real freight infrastructure; air cargo is confined to belly loads, while delta produce moves mainly by truck and barge and is consolidated for air export through Tan Son Nhat (SGN). For forwarders it is a local feeder rather than a cargo point. The city also serves as the ferry port to Phu Quoc island.
