FINNAIR CARGO is increasing its services to Vietnam with new freighter capacity this summer.
From the end of this month, the carrier is adding a third weekly frequency on its Hanoi route, serviced by an MD11F.
In June, Finnair will augment its belly hold capacity by running passenger flights three times a week using an A340.
Its total freight capacity from Europe to Vietnam will double from 155 tonnes to 315 tonnes (270 tonnes carried by the MD11F), a statement says.
Juha Järvinen, managing director of Finnair Cargo, observes: “According to IATA’s forecast, Vietnam is the fastest growing cargo market in the world for the next five years, so being a leading European carrier to the Vietnamese capital is one of our focus areas. Finnair Cargo is looking forward to growth on the trade lanes between Europe and Vietnam.”
