Cargolux flies heaviest piece to its Chinese hub
Cargolux Airlines successfully transported a 10-m long shaft with a total gross weight of 43 t from Luxembourg to Zhengzhou. It was the heaviest single piece of freight that Cargolux has ever delivered to mainland China. The transport was organised on behalf of the newly founded HNCA Logistics (Luxembourg) in cooperation with their local partner European Logistics Partners.
This first of its kind transit through the carrier's second hub in the province of Henan is opening up a new realm of possibilities for future transports like this one. Delivering very heavy cargo to China has always been quite a challenging undertaking, as adapted infrastructures for off-loading used to be quite sparse. Over the past year, however, there has been a solid growth in demand for this kind of transport.
