average of 45% in the fi rst 5 months of the year.


During the fi rst 6 months of 2014, ABC continued to extend its international network and strengthen its position on existing markets. In the United States, it added a second new route to Dallas/Fort Worth and also increased frequencies to Chicago. In Europe, ABC launched fl ights to Leipzig, Munich, and Malmo, and opened a direct service from Frankfurt to Chicago.


By adding new destinations and improving connectivity with its Moscow hub, AirBridgeCargo now offers an extensive choice of routes for its international customers as well as 384 connections with a delivery time below 48 hours on almost all of its origin- destination pairs, including handling.


ABC’s commitment to the ongoing improvement of its service levels delivered further benefi ts for its


customers in the fi rst half of the year, with its “Delivered-As-Promised” index remaining above 80%.


The airline’s focus on developing its home market and attracting more import traffi c into Russia resulted in a 13% YTD growth in tonnage on its routes to Russia in the fi rst six months of 2014. The highest growth was generated on routes from Asia and North America with 29% and 23% growth respectively. The total volume of imports carried by ABC into Russia increased to 42,676 tons during the half-year.


Denis Ilin (right), Executive President of AirBridgeCargo Airlines, said: “The challenges which the global air cargo market continues to face have not held back ABC’s development. We have achieved our goals for the fi rst half of the year and made ambitious plans for the second half of 2014, which will include the launching of more new routes and increasing our frequencies on a number


of existing routes, as well as growing our fl eet. We will continue to focus on our home market, not only by developing additional import business to Russia but also by launching domestic routes using the Boeing 737 freighter fl eet of Atran Airlines, another part of Volga-Dnepr Group. We are on track for a good 2014 and projecting our total tonnage for the year to exceed 400,000 tons of cargo.”
