MAS Kargo begins cargo flights to SGN yesterday 12 May, 2012. I don't know whether there are ATC 's instructions to delay arrival or not, but the A330F 9M-MUC landed at SGN right after a torrential downpour (with 2 VNA's heavies go-around).

Water Cannon salute right at the control tower. Unfortunately I can't shoot the full view of the aircraft at this ceromony due to a VNA's 332 parking at gate.

There was also red-carpet welcome at the SGN Cargo Terminal but it's out of view.

The Cargo jet departed back to KUL about 03 hours after landing

Best wishes to MAS Kargo and according to Fong Shui, success will come like rain on the opening day of this cargo business. :clapping:

Great catch Vu Loc! :clapping:

 

Always marvel at the variety of traffic that SGN gets... Next time I go there, must spend more days spotting! Hahahahaha!

 

Also some nice pix of the MASKargo A332F. I am ashamed to say that I have yet to catch any of the MU series here!

 

MASKargo is apparently very happy with the performance - it is even doing non-stop AMS-KUL services. They are probably thinking of ordering more A332Fs for the future.
