AirBridgeCargo Airlines Expands Europe-Russia Service

July 8, 2009
Volga-Dnepr Group's scheduled cargo airline has expanded 747 freighter service from Milan to Moscow.

AirBridgeCargo Airlines' (ABC) twice-weekly service will depart Milan's Malpensa Airport for Moscow each Monday and Friday as an extension of the airline’s Amsterdam service and provides further flight over Moscow to the Chinese cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, offering up to 112 tons of capacity. In Moscow, ABC will offer its customers the possibility to deliver cargo to two out of three warehouses: Sheremetyevo 1 and Sheremetyevo 2.

ABC currently operates 31 flights per week to and from Moscow’s Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo airports, linking Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Budapest and Zaragoza with Beijing, Shanghai, Narita and Hong Kong. The airline also operates scheduled all-cargo services to Krasnoyarsk in Russia.

“We will continue to expand our operations where ABC and its customers see opportunities to do so,” said Tatyana Arslanova, ABC’s executive senior vice president, Strategy, Marketing and Sales. “In Milan, we have succeeded in gaining a strong, regular commitment from the local freight forwarding industry and we are therefore pleased to be able to support them with the launch of this new service.”
