AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) has extended its delivery network in Russia with the launch of a new weekly flight from Amsterdam to Yekaterinburg and a direct service from Frankfurt to Moscow’s DomodedovoAirport. The new routes are the next step in ABC’s network expansion plans in Russia. Following the creation and development of its Moscow Sheremetyevo hub, the airline is now starting to develop new destinations in Russia. Yekaterinburg’s unique geographical position has seen it become a popular and important transport and logistics centre on the Trans-Siberian route. The city is at the heart of main transport roads that position Yekaterinburg at the center of key routes from Central Russia to Siberia, adjacent to the Siberian and the Trans-Siberia railway. As well as Yekaterinburg, the new route allows ABC to offer deliver solutions to destinations such as Tyumen, Nizhnevartovsk, Surgut, Nefteyugansk and South of Ural (Chelyabinsk) using road feeder services. From Yekaterinburg, ABC’s customers will have the possibility to deliver cargo to Hong Kong and other Asian destinations within its current network. ABC is initially serving the Russian city with a weekly B747F scheduled charter flight from Amsterdam’s SchipholAirport. The launch of the new Domodedovo freighter service from Germany on May, 30th will mark the start of a weekly B747F flight every Sunday. |
