AirBridgeCargo, part of Volga-Dnepr Group, is Russia’s largest cargo airline. It  operates 12 Boeing 747-400 freighter services a week linking Frankfurt and Moscow, with onward connections to the United States and Asia-Pacific. In the first 11 months of 2012, ABC’s total cargo traffic handled at Frankfurt was almost 106,000 tonnes.

This is the fourth year in a row that Fraport has recognised ABC’s performance. Fraport Cargo Services hosted a special reception at Frankfurt Airport attended by more than 60 customers to celebrate the success of its airline partners. The top cargo performers were presented with a Hessisch Bembel, a jug for the famous Hessian apple wine.

Winfried Hartmann, Managing Director of FCS, who presented the winners with their Bembel prizes, stated: “Our customers’ success is our own success and we greatly value our close and trusting collaboration. These awards are our way of saying ‘thank you’ for our fruitful partnership in 2012 and to look forward to yet another great year.”
