The growth in cargo tonnage has been assisted by dynamic network expansion which saw ABC introducing flights to new destinations (Houston – Abu-Dhabi) and offering services to new continent (Africa) via flights of its partner airline, as well as up-gauging and strengthening positions for well-established markets (third frequency to Singapore and Munich). Apart from that, the carrier has been receptive to new cargo opportunities and challenges with special cargo delivery either on its scheduled flights or on ad-hoc basis by organizing charters. New markets are well supported by a modern fleet of Boeing 747 freighters on board of which the Company accommodates its customers’ cargo to different parts of the world providing numerous connectivity options via its hub in Moscow Sheremetyevo airport. 

“May figures came as a good indicator of our performance as they demonstrate that our sales and business forces are targeted in the right direction.

Consistently high level of service reliability and close communication with clients is our way to successfully address tough market” - added Denis Ilin.
