First cargo flight heads to Europe

Chinese air cargo carrier Jade Cargo International officially opened for business in Viet Nam last Friday, offering a direct connection between Ha Noi and Amsterdam.

The carrier started its operation out of Ha Noi for the first time on February 27th, with two Boeing 747ERF flights per week, from Shanghai to Ha Noi on Sundays and Thursdays.

The new service from the Song Hong (Red River) Delta area to Amsterdam includes stopovers in Chennai, India and Dubai.

"Ha Noi has evolved into one of Viet Nam's major industrial centres," said Gabriela Ahrens, Jade Cargo's Executive Vice President of Products & Sales. "With our new connections, we are expanding our customised product to accommodate the increased demand in Viet Nam, especially from the high-tech industry."

This further strengthens the airline's dense network in South East Asia. Jade Cargo currently serves 25 destinations worldwide from its hubs in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Tianjin in China, with an emphasis on routes to Europe, India and the Middle East.
