AIRBRIDGECARGO AIRLINES TAKES DELIVERY OF FOURTH BOEING 747-8F


AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC), part of Volga-Dnepr Group and Russia’s largest cargo airline, has taken delivery of its fourth brand new Boeing 747-8 Freighter from Boeing in Everett (USA).


The aircraft operated its first commercial flight on the airline’s Chicago (USA)- Amsterdam (The Netherlands)- Moscow/ Sheremetyevo (Russia) route, and is being utilised on ABC’s existing route network linking Europe, Asia and the USA via AirBridgeCargo’s hub in Moscow.


With delivery of the fourth new generation Boeing 747-8F AirBridgeCargo is continuing to follow its long-term fleet modernisation strategy to further improve the quality of its product. The new 747-8F is quieter and offers lower fuel consumption as well as significantly reduced CO2 emissions.


“Operating a modern, efficient and ecologically friendly fleet plays a significant role in increasing the quality of the product we offer to our


customers. It also gives AirBridgeCargo Airlines a competitive edge which will help us to achieve stable and sustainable development and maintain our position on the market,” said Denis Ilin, the airline’s Executive President.


AirBridgeCargo’s current fleet consists of 12 Boeing 747 aircraft (five Boeing 747-400ERF, three Boeing 747-400F and four Boeing 747-8F).
