NWA gets express go-ahead

NWA Cargo has launched an express trucking service between Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China.

Northwest is the first airline to receive authority to move in-bond trucks between Hong Kong International Airport and Guangzhou’s Baiyun International Airport, in China’s Guandong province. This service allows NWA Cargo customers to transport their export freight with only one brief customs check in Huanggong, no stopping at multiple checkpoints along the way is required.

“This new express trucking provides a major breakthrough in our Guangzhou service,” said Tim Strauss, vice-president of NWA Cargo, Asia and Europe. “This is the first inter-regional customs cooperation in China, and NWA Cargo is pleased to have received the support of government and airport agencies so we can offer our customers this new service in the Guangdong province.”
