Vietnam’s Logistics Sector Attracts Global Transport and Investment Giants
East Asia and Southeast Asia are key markets for Emirates SkyCargo, with a capacity of over 21,000 tons of cargo per week, serving nine gateways in the region with 44 weekly flights. The carrier handles an average of over 450 tons of fresh produce, 100 tons of pharmaceuticals, 75 tons of electronics, 180 tons of garments, and more than 1,300 tons of e-commerce shipments every week.
Vietnam stands out as a promising market. In 2024–2025, Emirates SkyCargo transported 13,873 tons of general cargo, including more than 1.8 tons of high-tech products and 4,500 tons of fresh agricultural and seafood products. This makes Vietnam one of the fastest-growing export markets, thanks to its high-value goods.
At the same time, Vietnam’s logistics industry is attracting international investment. A.P. Moller Capital and VinaCapital have recently formed a strategic partnership to invest in ALS (ALSC Cargo Terminal at Noi Bai Airport). This is the third investment by the EMIF II Fund and marks the first time A.P. Moller Capital has entered the transport sector in Vietnam. The collaboration aims to expand and strengthen the position of ALS/ALSC, contributing to the development of Vietnam’s logistics ecosystem in line with international standards.

Delivery drones expected to transform U.S. logistics by 2028
Unmanned delivery drones are forecast to become a major breakthrough technology in the U.S. logistics industry, according to the latest survey from Tech.co.
The results show that 17% of U.S. logistics businesses believe drones will be the most powerful driver of change in the next 2-3 years. Currently, 7% of companies have started applying this technology in delivery operations.
“In the context of a labor shortage that puts direct pressure on transportation and supply chains, delivery drones are increasingly seen by experts as the solution,” said Aaron Drapkin, content manager at Tech.co.
Drapkin pointed out that drones could create a breakthrough in the final stage of delivery - the most costly and complex part of logistics - while other technologies like AI or management software only improve efficiency step by step. However, he also emphasized that legal and technical barriers still pose challenges to wide-scale implementation. Decisions such as allowing test flights outside visual range under the Trump administration were considered positive signs.
The survey also showed that 24% of U.S. logistics businesses regard the labor shortage as their biggest challenge. Drones are expected to help ease the shortage of drivers, increase flexibility, and improve delivery outcomes. Drapkin affirmed that demand for drone delivery will surely rise, as long as the logistics industry continues to face labor supply problems.
