Parcels to China and Vietnam: DHL launches new freighter flights

In future, it will be even easier to deliver parcels to China and Vietnam because of DHL’s latest joint venture with Yangtze River Express Ltd. The Chinese cargo airline will operate new direct flights from the DHL hub in Hong Kong to Chengdu in China and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

This is a result of the rising demand for express parcel services in busy economic centres such as Chengdu and South-western China. Each of the new five B737-300F freighters will carry a total load of 22 tons and fly out five times per week in order to deliver parcels to various parts of China and Vietnam.

Beyond that, the international courier, DHL, has promised to offer the following parcel services: evening pick-up and next-day delivery with 10pm being the latest collection time.
