This is an important event, not only opening up new options in freight transport but also demonstrating the cooperation between Vietnamese and Singaporean enterprises in promoting Vietnam's foreign economic position in the global value chain.

Previously, at the World Congress of the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FWC 2025) held in Hanoi, Vietnam SuperPort TM also "revealed" important information about the development strategy and operating plan of OACT.

As one of the first long-haul air cargo warehouses in Vietnam, OACT pioneers in fully integrating functions as an “outside airport cargo terminal”, providing services: customs clearance, security screening, storage, loading and unloading of ULDs (unloading equipment), transportation to the airport...

Here, goods will be processed according to strict control procedures from the reception stage to the transportation to the aircraft. Built and equipped with modern facilities that fully meet international cargo security standards, OACT is capable of receiving and processing goods from many businesses and carriers from demanding markets such as the US and Europe.

With a strategic location on the Northern economic corridor, connecting more than 20 large industrial parks with major seaports and airports such as Noi Bai, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh and extending to Yunnan, Kunming (China), OACT plays the role of a cargo transit center between Vietnam, the China - ASEAN region, creating a direct bridge to the international aviation network and key markets such as the US, Europe, and Asia.

Putting OACT into operation not only completes the multimodal logistics ecosystem of Vietnam SuperPort TM but also contributes to reducing up to 25% of cargo pressure at major airport terminals, expanding the ability to connect goods from domestic to the world.”

With the orientation of being a modern and smart cargo terminal, OACT will apply technological advances: AI, Robotics...
