Viet Nam aviation hits record high in passenger-cargo transport

Viet Nam's aviation industry continues to assert its regional leadership with a breakthrough performance in the first three quarters of 2025.

According to statistics from the Civil Aviation Authority of Viet Nam, both passenger and cargo transport saw robust growth, laying a solid foundation for the year-end period.

In total, the domestic aviation market served more than 64 million passengers during the nine-month period, up nearly 11 percent compared with the same time last year.

Cargo volume also surged impressively, exceeding 1 million tons, a year-on-year increase of almost 19 percent.

International routes have been the key driver of this growth. Passenger transport on global routes reached over 35 million, rising by more than 13 percent, while international cargo climbed nearly 23 percent to about 946,000 tons.

These figures highlight not only the strong rebound of tourism and global trade but also Viet Nam's growing appeal on the international stage.

Vietnamese carriers played a central role in this achievement, accounting for nearly 44 million passengers (up over 8 percent) and more than 343,000 tons of cargo (up over 5 percent).

In the international segment alone, domestic airlines carried close to 15 million passengers and more than 174,000 tons of cargo, underscoring their competitiveness and ability to meet rising market demand.

To achieve these impressive results, the Civil Aviation Authority of Viet Nam implemented flexible and effective management measures. According to its leaders, transport oversight closely tracked market trends and real travel demand, particularly during peak periods such as the Gregorian New Year, Lunar New Year 2025, the summer season, and other major holidays./.
