The air cargo market originating from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is experiencing significant shifts in capacity, space availability, and overall pricing structures. Catalina provides this comprehensive market intelligence report regarding air freight rates and airline capacity to assist businesses in optimizing their logistics operations.
The market for air freight to US outbound from SGN is currently highly active. SURGING demand has driven air freight rates upward while cargo space remains tight and highly limited. B2B exporters are strongly advised to secure space bookings well in advance to avoid supply chain disruptions.
Airline capacity and acceptance updates for US routes from SGN are structured as follows:
Turkish Airlines (TK): Capacity from SGN is constrained, with strict limitations on skid shipments.
Korean Air (KE): Connecting capacity to Chicago (ORD) is restricted, leading to upward pressure on freight rates.
All Nippon Airways (NH): Introduced deferred services and competitive offline rates. Outbound SGN capacity utilizes interline services, connecting via Nippon Cargo Airlines (KZ) at Narita (NRT) to JFK, ORD, and DFW.
5X, New Zealand (NZ), American Airlines (AA): Skid capacity remains limited.
United Airlines (UA): Onward connecting capacity to destinations outside the US is currently unavailable.
In contrast to the tight capacity on US lanes, the European sector shows mixed carrier adjustments:
British Airways (BA): Temporarily suspended cargo acceptance for European destinations.
EVA Air (BR), Philippine Airlines (PC), Saudia (SV): Offering highly attractive air freight rates for European trade lanes.
