Airbridges from China to Nantes and from Vietnam to Columbus
The New York-based apparel solutions provider Wen-Parker Logistics has chartered Ohio's five first direct flights from Vietnam through Columbus Rickenbacker.
Bryan Schreiber, manager, air cargo business development for the Columbus Regional Airport Authority, points out that, until last year, traffic from this "huge product sourcing area and growing trade partner with the USA had to travel via another country. As supply chains shift, this initial series of direct flights from Hanoi may open the door for future opportunities."
France, another recent destination for protective equipment from Vietnam, now boasts another port of entry. A350-1000 of the leisure carrier Air Caraibes, chartered by the local printer toner manufacturer Prolaser, are performing 22 flights from China to Nantes in Western France. (ah)
