Cargolux Airlines International S.A. today announced the launch of a third scheduled flight from Luxembourg to Zhengzhou, China, effective from 3 September 2014. Caargolux will doubles its Zhengzhou service to six weekly flights by the end of 2014 in a bid to offer its customers shortest transit times between Europe and any city in Central China.

The stepping up of regular air cargo services between Luxembourg and Zhhengzhou is part of thee dual-hub strategy centreed on Luxembourg’s Findel airport in Europe and on Zhengzhou’s Xinzheng International Airport in Asia. The dual hub strategy is a major pillar of the commercial cooperation agreement between Cargolux and HNCA.
