TGVN. In the June 30th statement, the European Commission (EC) officially announced the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union (EU) and Vietnam (EVFTA), signed on June 30th, 2019, will take effect from August 1st.

The Ministry of Transport will consider the reopening of international flight routes to countries and territories which have no new cases of COVID-19 in the community for 30 consecutive days, according to a ministry official.

In its latest air cargo analysis, IATA has revealed that the airfreight market improved in May, but “a full recovery will take time”. Industry-wide demand, measured in cargo tonne km (CTKs), experienced a double-digit decline for the third consecutive month — by 20.3% year-on-year, an improvement on the 25.6% decline in April.

The enforcement of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) will promote export-import activities, thus bringing direct benefits to the country's logistics industry, experts have said.
