Volga-Dnepr Airlines and Kuehne+Nagel (K+N) recently partnered on a flight delivering a power turbine from East Midlands in the UK to Russia.
The 4.5-ton shipment was loaded into Volga-Dnepr’s IL-76TD-90VD aircraft using its onboard crane system, and then expedited to its final destination on time.
Oleg Makushkin, Head of procurement and airline relations, Russia and CIS, K+N, Russia, said: “At this challenging time it is very important to have a reliable partner who is able to provide a consistent level of service. For us, Volga-Dnepr Group (including AirBridgeCargo, Volga-Dnepr Airlines, and ATRAN Airlines) is such a partner.”
Ekaterina Andreeva, Commercial Director for Volga-Dnepr Airlines, said: “For over two decades Volga-Dnepr Airlines and Kuehne+Nagel have partnered on projects which have allowed us to innovate and develop new solutions together – pushing the boundaries on what air freight can do.
“Starting with our AN-124 and IL-76 charter flights, and then progressing to partnership on scheduled operations with AirBridgeCargo Airlines, we work under the alignment of specialty cargo transportation across the globe.”
