the MEGA beat

Over 80 million people live in Vietnam, a 2,000 kilometre long narrow strip along the South China Sea that includes cool upland mountains, untouched coastal stretches, thriving cities and the relaxed capital Hanoi.

Hanoi with its preserved French-style architecture, recreational lakes, stately monuments, galleries and busy street life, is more reserved than Ho Chi Minh City, the centre of Vietnam's economic restructuring and a bustling city where throngs of motorcycles swarm the streets.

The country's key export markets are the US and Europe, with well-known clothing and footwear brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Gap, Adidas and Nike sourcing production from Vietnam. Electronics is also an emerging industry here, with printing and digital camera giant Canon establishing a significant manufacturing presence in Hanoi.

Both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi have daily services to Singapore. Ho Chi Minh City has an additional service on days 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7, making it a total of 12 flights a week.

The SIA Cargo Vietnam team works closely with our SIA colleagues to ensure that both cargo and passenger operations are in good hands.
