U&I Logistics: Tet-Period Air Freight, Maintaining Cold-Chain Standards for Fresh Produce

For agricultural produce and fresh fruit in particular, strict control is essential. These products have short shelf lives and depend heavily on temperature conditions and clearance speed.

U&I Logistics does not view Tet as a time to pause operations, but rather as a time to demonstrate proven, real-world operational capability.

Proactive planning before the holiday

At the same time, document review and standardization are carried out thoroughly to minimize errors under limited holiday-duty staffing. This systematic preparation helps ensure that receiving, clearance, and handover processes stay on schedule in the days leading up to and following Tet.

Strict cold-chain control

For perishable cargo, cold-chain integrity is the decisive factor. U&I Logistics’ air freight service focuses on controlling critical milestones such as flight cut-off times, warehouse dwell time, and the handover window to the airline.

Handling and pick-up processes are optimized to reduce waiting time at the airport, while maintaining appropriate temperature conditions throughout all operational steps. Strict adherence to procedures not only ensures cargo makes the intended flight, but also helps preserve product quality upon arrival at the final destination.

Flexible coordination amid limited resources

While many units suspend operations during the holiday, U&I Logistics maintains an on-duty team throughout Tet to ensure seamless coordination among on-site operations, documentation staff, and airlines. Clear task assignment and standardized handling workflows enable quick resolution of arising issues, minimizing any impact on flight schedules.

Continuous operations during the peak holiday period are not merely a service requirement - it is a reliability commitment to customers exporting agricultural products.

Strengthening agricultural supply-chain capability

In logistics, peak periods like Tet are considered a true test of organizational capability and operational standards. Maintaining perishable-cargo handling under constrained resources reflects U&I Logistics’ focus on risk management and quality control within its air freight services.

As a result, the company not only performs the transportation function, but also helps protect cargo value and sustain the momentum of agricultural exports - even during the most challenging time of the year.
