Qualifying for this license required establishing a framework capable of performing the full spectrum of operations from air cargo consolidation and packing to bonded transport procedures, significantly enhancing the Center’s logistics service capabilities.

With Vietnam enjoying rapid economic growth, congestion has become the norm at Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport’s cargo terminal due to expanding demand for air cargo transport. Against a backdrop of changes in the business environment and moves to optimize global supply chains, the acquisition of this CFS license helps satisfy customer demands for a faster and more efficient logistics network.

The Quang Minh Industrial Park in which the Logistics Center is located offers excellent access to the economic and commercial hub of the capital city Hanoi, being situated a mere 15-minute drive from Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport. Utilizing both the Logistics Center’s strategic location and its CFS functions despite being an off-airport facility enables NX Vietnam to avoid cargo backlogs at the airport terminal and to ensure timely delivery in accordance with flight schedules. Such agile operations deliver significant convenience and a competitive edge in air cargo services.

About facility and services 
The newly established CFS area (1,000 m2) within the Quang Minh Logistics Center is fully equipped with high-rise racks, security cameras, and lockable secure areas. Air cargo loading and unloading, temporary storage of export-ready cargo, bonded transport procedures and other operations are carried out under in-house management, making cargo control more efficient and customers’ logistic flows smoother.

Key benefits of this license
-Reduced lead times and increased efficiency
Centralizing air cargo consolidation and bonded transport procedures within an NX Vietnam warehouse reduces waiting times at airport terminals and similar external facilities. Shorter lead times are achieved through reliable shipment schedule management unaffected by congestion.

-Streamlined and optimized transport processes
Efficiently aggregating and consolidating cargo at an in-house CFS and transporting it to the airport in bulk optimizes transport frequency. The Logistics Center provides agile, high-value-added transport solutions that keep pace with the evolving speed of its customers’ businesses.

-Enhanced cargo safety and security
Cargo handling quality is improved and the risk of loss or damage is reduced through consistent operations under in-house management. Strict security measures and advanced storage systems enable the company to safely manage customers’ cargo.

-High-quality one-stop service
NX Vietnam will leverage its status as the only Japanese forwarder with an off-airport CFS facility in Hanoi to develop unique schemes that address region-specific logistics challenges. Pioneering initiatives will be pursued in the Hanoi area to create new value for customers’ supply chains.

The NX Group will continue strongly supporting its customers’ global business expansion and contributing to the development of the regional economy by providing high-quality and efficient logistics services.
