Finnair Cargo adds MD-11 freighter services to Hanoi (copy 1)

FINNAIR Cargo has strengthened its Brussels cargo hub connectivity by adding twice-weekly MD-11 freighter services to Hanoi, Vietnam.

"Finnair flew seasonal passenger operations to Hanoi until the end of October and adding Hanoi to our freighter network brings year-round continuity to the Finnair Cargo offering to and from the Vietnamese capital,” says Mikko Turtiainen, vice-president of global sales.

“I am very confident in terms of exports and imports linked with the fast-emerging Vietnam,” he adds.

The Brussels hub is now a core part of Finnair Cargo's growth strategy and it has improved service and lead times between Asian destinations and central Europe, notes Juha Järvinen, managing director of Finnair Cargo.

Finnair’s freighter services are operated by Nordic Global Airlines.
