Strengthening international cooperation in aviation logistics

On February 26, 2025, Da Nang International Airport welcomed a delegation from Dubai National Air Travel Agency (DNATA), one of the world's leading aviation service providers. The delegation was led by Mr. Guillaume Crozier, Senior Vice President of Global Cargo Strategy & UAE Cargo at DNATA, and Mr. Matthew Davies, Vice President of Emerging Markets at DNATA, along with representatives from the Da Nang Department of Industry and Trade.
The delegation was received by Mr. Le Hoai Nam, Deputy Director of Da Nang International Airport, along with representatives from key airport departments. The visit focused on reviewing airport infrastructure, exploring potential areas within the Free Trade Zone, and discussing cooperation in aviation logistics.
DNATA – A Leading Global Aviation Service Provider
DNATA, based in Dubai (UAE), operates across five continents, offering services such as cargo transport, ground handling, travel, and in-flight catering. The company is also the first aviation service provider to receive IEnvA certification from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), highlighting its commitment to sustainable operations.
Da Nang International Airport – A Fast-Growing Aviation Logistics Hub
As a key airport in Central Vietnam, Da Nang International Airport is becoming more important in the region. With its rapid growth and increasing foreign investment, the airport is developing into a major hub for aviation logistics and transportation services.
DNATA’s visit was not only about strengthening trade and cargo transport but also about discussing the potential development of a Free Trade Zone at the airport. This zone would provide businesses with tax benefits, simpler customs processes, and improved trade conditions, helping to increase import-export activities, attract investment, and improve competitiveness. DNATA’s global experience and expertise could bring valuable opportunities for Da Nang to expand its cargo services and improve airport logistics operations.
Future Partnership Opportunities
During the meeting, both sides had fruitful discussions about possible cooperation in Vietnam, especially in Da Nang. DNATA expressed its appreciation for the warm welcome and hospitality from Da Nang International Airport and local leaders. The company also showed strong interest in developing long-term partnerships in aviation logistics and cargo services, with Da Nang as a key location for expanding into Southeast Asia and the wider Asian market.
Through this partnership, Da Nang International Airport hopes to take advantage of its strategic location and modern infrastructure to boost global trade and logistics operations. As the demand for aviation logistics continues to grow worldwide, this collaboration is an important step toward positioning Da Nang as a leading air logistics hub in the region.
