Air Cargo Terminal

08.10.2021

Even though airfreight transport accounts for a small proportion of the volume of goods, the value of goods accounts for a high ratio. All airfreight shipment needs to be handled by a ground handling entity at the airport. It's our pleasure to introduce our cargo terminal in Noi Bai airport, Hanoi. 

1. What is an air cargo terminal? about

The air cargo terminal is where the ground handling services are provided. Ground handling is an integral part of airline operations and cargo logistics by air freight. Export cargo will be ground-handled before flying to a destination, and import cargo will be unloaded and proceed before delivering to the consignees. An air cargo terminal technically locates at airport zones where the cargo handling process happens with many parties involved.
