Tuesday @ Beijing: Multiplication of Cargolux destinations in the US and Latin America

In Beijing on Tuesday, Minister Bausch and Secretary of State Gira met with the secretary general of the Chinese Communist Party and the CAAC Vice Minister of Transport Feng Zhenglin. The meeting focused on aviation issues, including additional air rights for Cargolux, enabling it to increase its destinations in Latin America and the United States.

Minister Bausch stressed the importance of additional air rights in the context of the creation of the new joint venture airline (Cargolux Asia) that will be finalised in 2016. The two Ministers welcomed the success of Cargolux operations to China resulting in exceeding the considerable thresholds set in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in January 2015. The Deputy Transport Minister Feng Zhenglin reiterated the will of the Chinese government to support any commercial development in this field.
