In the context of fierce competition and limited terminal and airport facilities like Tan Son Nhat airport, maintaining and promoting Ground Handling's competitive strength is a necessary and urgent work, improving quality to compete and aim to provide the best service to existing customers and find potential customers.
Recently, in the context of the aviation industry is being heavily affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, VIAGS Tan Son Nhat once again shows the above orientation when the Board of Directors directly command the Apron Division to concentrate on service of extra cargo flights (extra/ charter cargo flights) of the Airlines.
China Southern Airlines is the airline that initiated this temporary
solution, shifting the direction of increasing cargo operations to offset the decline in passenger
output. From the night of March 8, 2020 to the dawn of March 9, 2020, VIAGS Tan Son Nhat is pleased to welcome China Southern Airlines' first
extra cargo flight with a new generation of B777 Freighter aircraft. The takeoff weight is up to 352 tons.
China Southern Airlines is one of the three largest airlines in China, flying more than 2000 flights daily to more than 200 destinations around the world. The
extra flight operates the
route from Pudong International Airport - Shanghai to Tan Son Nhat International Airport - Ho Chi Minh and vice versa, PVG-SGN-PVG, bearing number CZ5222/CZ5221. The total number of
flights that CZ Airline is operating at SGN is 6 pairs of cargo flights per week with two super-heavy B747F aircraft (commercial tonnage of 114 tons) and B777F aircraft (commercial tonnage of
120 tons).
Following CZ Airline, other airlines such as Air China (CA) - 6 flights/week, Korean Air Cargo (KE) - 14 flights/week, Eitihad Airways Cargo (EY) - 4 flights/week, China Airlines Cargo (CI) - 8 flights/week also
in turn increase cargo flights in Vietnam; and it is expected that in the near future, Eva Air Cargo (BR) will return to the
playground.
