Cargolux has selected the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia as stopovers for its latest route between Luxembourg and Vietnam.

"Cargolux expects to carry mainly general cargo, consumer goods and spare parts to the new destination, contributing to the growth of local industries," said Robert Van de Weg, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Cargolux.

"From Vietnam, Cargolux will mainly fly garments, footwear, handicraft and electronics to Europe, with additional seafood products, fruit and vegetables for Asian destinations," he added.
