Compared with 2019, the pre-pandemic peak year, the size of Vietnam’s aviation market has now grown substantially in every measure. The most impressive progress came from international aviation. In 2025, Vietnam served 46.6 million international passengers, up 12.6% year-on-year, while international cargo rose to 1.3 million tons, up 22.6%. Vietnamese carriers now operate 113 international routes, strengthening the country’s position as a major aviation hub in the Asia-Pacific region. Forecasts project nearly 95 million passengers and 1.6 million tons of cargo in 2026 - up 13.6% and 9.3% respectively from 2025.
