Europe’s largest all-cargo airline, Cargolux Airlines International S.A., has announced the introduction of a third weekly frequency to Xiamen in China as of 1 July 2019 to meet growing customer demand.
The new service, CV9721 is operated every Monday morning, departing Luxembourg at 08:10 and arriving in Xiamen on Tuesday at 04:40. The return flight, CV9731, is scheduled to leave Xiamen at 06:15 and is routed through Los Angeles before returning to Luxembourg where it lands at 06:15 (all local times).
Cargolux has been operating into Xiamen since 2006 with two weekly flights from Luxembourg on Wednesday and Friday arriving in the Chinese city on Thursday morning and Saturday morning.
This additional China – USA service aims to cement Cargolux’s strong position in China and on transpacific trade lanes. Indeed, this additional frequency provides the only direct freighter connection between Xiamen and the USA, further broadening Cargolux’s service offering.
The main imports from Europe into Xiamen comprise a vast range of classic cargo as well as spare parts and semiconductor parts. The new frequency from Xiamen to Los Angeles will mainly support the export of clothing items and electronic goods.
With its fleet of nose-door equipped Boeing 747 freighters, Cargolux offers the opportunity to carry a wide range of commodities on all its trade lanes.
