Northwest Airlines will be the second US airline to fly to Vietnam after being granted a license to operate a service from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to San Francisco and Los Angeles by the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV).
By any measure, 2007 was a good year for air cargo in Vietnam. Overall cargo export volumes grew some 18 percent to 130,000 tons, representing an increase of 20,000 tons over 2006. This growth has been of major benefit to the country’s largest GSSA, ITL Aviation Services, that has produced impressive growth of 21 percent in 2007.
