Direct routing solutions and cargo-space guarantees built for high-demand lanes. Secure your capacity instantly.
As international enterprises implement diversified manufacturing strategies, Vietnam’s industrial base has transitioned from low-value textile assembly to high-technology production, precision electronics, automotive sub-assemblies, and cold-chain therapeutics. Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), anchored by the Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) cargo complex and the nearby Long Thanh logistics corridor, serves as the critical exit hub for Southern Vietnam’s exports.
However, the rapid growth in industrial outputs has outpaced scheduled airline belly capacities, creating systemic capacity crunches. Peak-season shipping backlogs, strict flight allocation caps, and high-value cargo handling demands mean traditional commercial freight options often fall short. Our customized Air Cargo Charter Services in Ho Chi Minh City solve these issues, providing dedicated, unscheduled airlift directly to global gateway destinations.
Standard scheduled cargo flights face persistent payload reductions due to high summer temperatures in HCMC. Direct charter flights allow for optimized route fuel-planning and maximum volumetric utilization.
Time-Critical Semiconductor Pipelines
Zero-vibration temperature controlled environments for delicate silicon wafers and assemblies.
Automotive Just-In-Time Assembly
Avoiding production shut-downs by executing chartered air bridges for micro-parts directly to assembly lines.
E-Commerce & Fast Fashion Scalability
Handling sudden volume surges by acquiring cargo-capacity rights for regional distribution networks.
Shenzhen Leoti Logistics Co., Ltd. is a modern international logistics company dedicated to providing comprehensive and efficient global freight solutions. The company primarily specializes in import and export freight forwarding, including air freight, ocean shipping, international express delivery, rail transport, and road transportation services. As demand surged across the ASEAN corridor, we localized our presence in Ho Chi Minh City, offering direct chartering partnerships to bridge China, Vietnam, and global markets.
In addition to core transportation services, Leoti Logistics offers a full range of one-stop logistics solutions, such as customs clearance, warehousing, cargo consolidation, trailer transportation, and trade agency services. Our goal is to simplify global trade for our clients by providing seamless end-to-end logistics support.
As a trusted booking agent for multiple leading shipping lines and airlines, the company is able to secure competitive cargo space in major global port cities, including Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Qingdao, Tianjin, Dalian, Beijing, and Lianyungang. Through strong partnerships with local warehouses, trucking fleets, and customs brokers, Leoti ensures smooth and efficient operations at every major port, using Ho Chi Minh City as a core logistics hub for transshipments.
Over the years, Shenzhen Leoti Logistics has actively expanded its overseas logistics network. Today, we cooperate with more than 200 global agents covering Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Oceania, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. This extensive network allows us to provide reliable international air freight, sea freight, express delivery, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery services worldwide. Our specialized heavy-lift flight solutions ensure that cargo of any weight or volume gets from point A to point B without delay.
We manage end-to-end relocation and charter flights for heavy manufacturing plant machinery. Below are some of the high-value industrial machinery components and production steps we regularly coordinate for international transport.
We manage slot bookings, handling services, and priority routes using key heavy-lift aircraft platforms:
| Aircraft Type | Max Payload | Loading Type | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boeing 777F | 102 Metric Tons | Main Deck Side Cargo Door | Electronics & High-value general cargo |
| Boeing 747-8F | 134 Metric Tons | Nose & Side Cargo Loading | Outsized oil-gas components & automotive |
| Antonov AN-124 | 120 Metric Tons | Ramp loading (Front/Rear) | Heavy machinery, aerospace & project cargo |
| Airbus A330-200F | 65 Metric Tons | Main Deck Side Cargo Door | E-commerce & general high-density cargo |
Successful air cargo chartering out of Ho Chi Minh City involves coordinating several logistics variables. A critical strategy we utilize is the Cross-Border Road-Air Intermodal Link. By routing manufacturing outputs from Industrial Parks in Vietnam (such as VSIP, Amata, and Tan Thuan) and neighboring economic corridors (Cambodia & Laos) directly to Tan Son Nhat Airport, we optimize transit efficiency. This creates a flexible regional logistics hub, ensuring quick connections for global exports.
Additionally, our ground handling team works directly with cargo terminal operators in SGN (TCS and SCSC) to bypass standard queuing protocols. High-value cargo, hazardous goods (lithium battery setups), and temperature-controlled items are processed through dedicated customs and fast-track channels, allowing for direct transfer from trucks to chartered aircraft cargo holds.

Expanding global coverage with options tailored for oversized project cargo, urgent drop-shipping corridors, and regional bulk transport.
Navigating the local regulatory landscape is key to preventing delays for cargo charter flights in Vietnam. The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) closely monitors charter traffic rights to protect domestic operators. Our local office coordinates directly with CAAV to secure non-scheduled flight permits and landing approvals, even during peak congestion periods.
For high-value or dangerous goods, cargo declarations must integrate with the Vietnam Automated Cargo System (VNACCS/VCIS). Our expert compliance team handles pre-clearance procedures to ensure your cargo moves through customs as soon as the nose-door opens. This systematic approach minimizes dwell time, helping to protect cargo safety and meet project timelines.
We use real-time GPS sensors and cellular data loggers inside the aircraft pallets, providing continuous updates on:
Strict temperature monitoring for pharmaceutical cargo.
Monitoring fragile semiconductor manufacturing machinery.
Ensuring altimetric pressure limits are maintained.
Immediate notifications when import customs clearances are approved.
Get professional insights on logistics processes, aircraft structures, and regulatory guidelines in Vietnam.
For standard non-scheduled cargo charter flights, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) typically requires 3 to 5 business days to process and issue landing permits. For urgent humanitarian relief or critical line-down situations, we can leverage emergency fast-track procedures to secure permits within 24 to 48 hours.
A full charter grants you exclusive use of the entire aircraft, giving you complete control over schedules, routing, and cargo space. A part charter allows you to purchase a specific section of space on a scheduled charter flight, which is a cost-effective option for smaller cargo volumes that still need fast transit.
Yes, our ground team is trained in compliance with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR). We manage declarations, packaging audits, and secure terminal handling for lithium batteries, chemicals, automotive parts, and temperature-sensitive biological goods.
High ambient temperatures lower air density, which can restrict an aircraft's maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) from SGN. To optimize payload capacities during hot weather, we plan flight schedules for cooler night hours and select aircraft with strong engine-thrust ratios, such as the Boeing 777F.
Long Thanh International Airport (LTX) is designed to serve as a modern cargo hub that will significantly relieve congestion at SGN. Once operational, LTX will provide dedicated runways, larger cargo handling areas, and automated customs checkpoints, allowing for faster processing times and more charter slots.
