Looking back to my homeland with special feelings
Leaving his hometown to start a career in a foreign land at a very young age, however, deep in his heart, Nguyen Thanh Hai always turned to Quang Tri with the most special feelings. In early 2024, the charity program "Spring of Charity - Full Tet" was organized in Gio My commune, giving Tet gifts to families in difficult circumstances in the area. The entire cost of the program was thanks to the donations and sponsorship of Nguyen Thanh Hai.
For the staff and people of Gio My commune, this is not the first time that Mr. Hai and the company have carried out meaningful programs that are full of the love of a child far from home for his homeland. “Many years ago, Mr. Hai sponsored the commune's scholarship fund; regularly coordinated with the Gio My Commune Youth Union to support families in difficult circumstances. In 2021, when COVID-19 broke out, knowing that medical masks were very expensive and scarce in the commune, Mr. Hai sent dozens of boxes of medical masks and disinfectants back to his hometown to support people in disease prevention. Every year, he and the company's staff and employees spend time returning to their hometown to give Tet gifts to the poor,” said Nguyen Ngoc Quy, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Gio My Commune Party Committee.

Busy with business, Mr. Hai still takes time to participate in charity activities, sponsoring sports tournaments to strengthen the solidarity of fellow countrymen, such as sponsoring the Quang Tri Football Tournament in Da Nang City, Gio Linh District Youth Football Tournament... In addition, as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company, Mr. Hai regularly mobilizes and donates funds from staff, employees, and colleagues to support the unfortunate circumstances in his hometown, especially poor students in Gio My commune. "After many years away from home, I always wished that if I had the opportunity, I would return to contribute to building my hometown. My difficult childhood and the days of working abroad taught me many valuable lessons. Therefore, I understand and sympathize with those in difficult circumstances, especially poor students, and always want to help and support them in some way," Mr. Hai confided.
Persist in finding your own way
Mr. Hai was born and raised in Nhi Thuong village, Gio My commune. Recalling his childhood in his hometown and his journey to establish himself and his career, he said: “My family had difficulties because we had many brothers and sisters. When I was young, whenever I encountered something new, I was always curious and wanted to try. When I was a little older, I liked to try my hand at business, even if it was just simple products. Whenever I encountered difficulties, I often explored, found my own way, thought of ways to overcome them, and never gave up.”
Indeed, as soon as he entered university, Mr. Hai found a part-time job to earn money for his studies. In 2005, after graduating from Duy Tan University, majoring in Foreign Languages, he decided to stay and start a career in a foreign land. Mr. Hai said: “The biggest turning point in my life was probably the time I visited Da Nang airport. I noticed that the old terminal of Da Nang airport was still rudimentary, the advertising signs were sketchy, and were of the type of posters stuck on the wall, which were very unsightly. From then on, I had a burning desire to do something to change the appearance of the terminal, to elevate the image of the city's "gateway". The idea of developing advertising at the airport was born, opening a new chapter for my career.”

In 2009, Mr. Hai officially established Hai Tran Media & Airs Group - a company operating in the field of airport advertising in Da Nang City. According to him, creating modern and professional billboards is not only a business opportunity but also a way to contribute to developing the image of the city, creating a strong brand impression in an area with a high concentration of passengers from many places around the world. In the early days of establishing the company, Mr. Hai encountered many difficulties when the advertising business market in the Central region at that time was still very new and not as strongly developed as in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. However, with his hard-working nature, he and his colleagues, who are also from Quang Tri, always firmly believed in the new direction they had chosen, moving forward step by step. Until now, many officers and employees of Hai Tran Media & Airs Group still remember Mr. Hai as a meticulous and meticulous "captain" in his work and always accompanying and fighting with his colleagues in every problem, no matter how small. He is also a role model, a source of inspiration for work with the motto: there is nothing difficult or insurmountable if there is consensus and determination of the whole team.
Spreading sustainable values
With the right business strategy and far-sighted vision, Mr. Hai and the board of directors have led the company to outstanding development, steadily overcoming many difficult periods. “Perhaps the luckiest thing in my career journey is finding dedicated and devoted colleagues. It is the solidarity and perseverance of the whole team that has helped us overcome difficult times, especially during the COVID-19 period,” Mr. Hai shared.
Up to now, Hai Tran Media & Airs Group is one of the pioneering enterprises in advertising, non-aviation services and currently has the largest market share at key airports nationwide. Since its establishment, the company has expanded its business network with more than 350 airport advertising locations and 40 retail points at airports nationwide, providing not only modern advertising services, along with creating a retail system for specialty products and souvenirs but also wishing to spread the beauty of Vietnamese culture to domestic and foreign tourists. With the desire to bring many sustainable values, from the main activities in the field of airport advertising, Mr. Hai and his colleagues have developed Hai Tran Media & Airs Group into an ecosystem with sub-brands such as: Deli Mart, Deli Coffee, Deli Garden, Long Thanh Airs, An Phu Invest.
“In order to perform well in my role as strategic director for Hai Tran Media & Airs Group, in the coming time, I plan to continue to expand and develop the advertising system and non-aviation services at all airports nationwide, and at the same time reach out to Southeast Asia with potential markets such as Singapore and Thailand. In addition, I will promote investment in the tourism and hotel sector, with the goal of bringing the best experiences to tourists when coming to Vietnam. I am also implementing a plan to invest in developing real estate projects in my hometown of Quang Tri. Through these projects, I hope to bring many new opportunities to the community and contribute to the development of my hometown,” said Mr. Hai.
