Volga-Dnepr approved to handle cargo at Russian airports

The Federal Air Transport Agency of Russia's Ministry of Transport has awarded a certificate to Volga-Dnepr Airlines to perform its own cargo handling at Russian airports. The certificate entitles Volga-Dnepr Airlines to handle and load various types of cargo at Russian airports without the need to use external agencies.

The move will enable Volga-Dnepr to increase its aircraft operating efficiency by reducing both ground time and transportation costs for domestic and international services.



In addition, Volga-Dnepr will also be able to provide handling services to third parties.

Volga-Dnepr Group is the world leader in the unique, oversize and heavy cargo market. It includes two leading airline cargo companies – Volga-Dnepr Airlines and AirBridgeCargo Airlines – which have been honoured with the prestigious “Wings of Russia” national aviation award on many occasions. The Group employs 3,000 staff worldwide and has representative offices in nine countries.

The Group’s business is based on air charter flights using unique AN-124-100 and IL-76 ramp freighter aircraft (Volga-Dnepr Airlines) and on scheduled flights operated by a fleet of Boeing 747 all-cargo aircraft (AirBridgeCargo Airlines). It combines the synergies of the two main businesses to offer a full range of air logistics solutions using both chartered and scheduled transportation. This has ensured the dynamic development and growth of the Group and enabled it to compete effectively with the world’s other industry leaders.
