The Ministry of Transport has approved restructure of the air freight market by 2020 to develop the cargo transport market and increase the role of airfreight, especially in key economic zones and remote areas.

By then the Vietnamese airfreight market will be the fifth largest in the ASEAN bloc of nations.
By 2020 international flights will arrive at all international airports and all domestic sectors will have at least seven flights a week while every domestic destination with an airport will be covered.
Vietnam will have a fleet of 190 – 210 aircraft then, Vietnam Airlines will be a 4-5-star carrier, and low-cost airlines will match the quality of regional budget carriers.
The rate of delayed and cancelled flights will be reduced year by year.
