“Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in East Asia. This new freighter service together with the eight times weekly passenger services, will boost the growing freight business links between Vietnam and its key exports markets in Europe, the US, China and South East Asia,” said Mr Goh Choon Phong, President of  SIA Cargo.

Vietnam’s top export items are crude oil, textile, footwear, coffee and wooden products whilst the country imports machine tools, petroleum, steel, fabrics and electronics.
