METEOROLOGICAL VEHICLES ARRIVE HOME ONBOARD AN-124 AFTER GOING FOR A ‘TEST DRIVE’


Two mobile meteorological support vehicles have arrived back in Yekaterinburg, Russia, from Delhi, India, onboard a Volga-Dnepr Airlines’ An-124-100 aircraft after going for a ‘test drive’.


The mobile stations, each weighing 12 tons and accompanied by a 4-ton trailer, drove into the An-124’s giant cargo hold under their own power. Each shipment measured 8.5 metres in length and 3.6 metres in height and was loaded along with the 5 metre long trailer. The consignor and consignee’s


representatives monitored the loading and unloading of the cargo at Indira Gandhi International Airport and Koltsovo Airport.


The flight was operated on behalf of the Government of India, which ordered the meteorological vehicles from the Russian manufacturer, Uraltransmash. The purpose of the transportation was to enable specialists in India to familiarise themselves with the equipment and to conduct tests using it.

SINGAPORE SPORTS HUB IS PITCH PERFECT THANKS TO ‘FLYING’ ARTIFICIAL GRASS MACHINES


Two 9-ton artificial grass machines used to create sustainable sports stadium pitches have arrived in Maastricht in the Netherlands onboard a Volga-Dnepr Airlines’ IL-76TD-90VD.


The machines were flown in from Singapore where they were used at the Singapore Sports Hub, the country’s new 55,000 capacity national stadium that officially opens on 30th June, 2014. The flight was operated for Volga- Dnepr’s longstanding partner, Chapman Freeborn Airchartering.


Desso GrassMaster machines use patented technology to inject artificial grass fibres into natural grass to make


stadium pitches more resilient and long-lasting. The 9-metre track-laying machines were able to drive into the cargo hold of the IL-76TD-90VD along a ramp extension.


Volga-Dnepr’s team had previously organised the transportation of the loading equipment from Stansted, UK, to Singapore.
