Incheon Airport and Jeju Air Joint Marketing... "Increase in Vietnamese Air Cargo"
Incheon International Airport Corporation announced on the 5th that it held a "Joint Briefing Session to Increase Air Cargo Volume in the Vietnam Region" for logistics stakeholders in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, over two days from May 31 to June 1, together with Jeju Air.
This event was planned as part of the corporation’s ongoing "Air Cargo Incentive Program" aimed at increasing air cargo volume. A total of 61 local forwarders and logistics companies and about 150 stakeholders attended over the two days, receiving great response.
The corporation introduced the logistics competitiveness and strengths of Incheon Airport, which ranked second worldwide in the air cargo sector, to the attendees. Jeju Air presented its strengths in the air cargo field, including being the first domestic low-cost carrier (LCC) to operate cargo flights, as well as its future plans.
In 2022, the Southeast Asia region accounted for 16.9% of Incheon Airport’s cargo volume, ranking third after the Americas (25.4%) and Europe (17.5%). Notably, Vietnam holds the largest share within Southeast Asia (43.5%). This joint briefing session is expected to greatly contribute to generating new cargo volumes in Vietnam and the Southeast Asia region in the future.
Kim Beom-ho, Head of Future Business Division at Incheon International Airport Corporation, said, “Last year, Incheon Airport’s international air cargo volume reached 2.91 million tons, achieving second place worldwide for two consecutive years following 2021. Moving forward, we will strengthen region-specific tailored marketing and timely expand logistics infrastructure such as smart cargo terminals to solidify our position as the world’s second-largest air cargo airport.”
