Cathay Cargo resumes freighter service
One week ago, Cathay Cargo welcomed its first freighter flight to Ho Chi Minh City after four years, following its suspension in December 2019 due to the pandemic.
The weekly flight, CX3148, will operate from Ho Chi Minh City every Thursday, with the freighter starting from Hong Kong to Hanoi, then routing to Ho Chi Minh City before returning to Hong Kong. This will supplement Cathay Cargo's current six freighter flights per week from Hanoi to Hong Kong.
In addition to greater cargo capacity, the resumption of the freighter service will give shippers in Ho Chi Minh City access to Cathay Cargo's main-deck solutions, namely Cathay Expert for odd-sized shipments, as well as freight designated as cargo-aircraft-only, such as certain dangerous goods.
