Cargolux ramps up air freight activity to Vietnam

The air cargo carrier has added freighter flights to Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi due to projected export tonnage increases.    Cargolux has added a second weekly flight to Ho Chi Minh City and a fourth flight to Hanoi to take advantage of the growing manufacturing base in Vietnam.
   According to the carrier, Samsung will ramp up its LCD monitor production in Ho Chi Minh City during the first quarter of next year. It also notes that Microsoft has moved phone production from nearby countries into Vietnam and is planning to export up to 50,000 tons annually. Finally, LG Electronics will build a $1.5 billion production facility in Vietnam.
   “Cargolux has a well-established network and presence in the Vietnam markets, and its customers have responded with positive outlooks for 2015,” the carrier stated. “Cargolux echoes the positive outlook for Vietnam and remains well placed to provide the services required by both its present and future customers.”
