AIRLINES COMMENCE BOEING 747F
OPERATIONS FROM MOSCOW TO
TOKYO
AirBridgeCargo
Airlines, the scheduled cargo
airline of Russia's Volga-Dnepr
Group, will commence Boeing 747F
services from Moscow's Domodedovo
Airport to Tokyo's Narita Airport
on September 7th 2007, expanding
its presence to and from the
Japanese market.
ABC
launched services to Nagoya in
early 2006 as part of a long-term
relationship with Nippon Cargo
Airlines (NCA). It now operates
three flights a week to
Nagoya.
The
launch of services to and from
Tokyo follows successful
negotiations between the Russian
and Japanese aviation
authorities. ABC will initially
operate one flight a week on the
Moscow-Tokyo-Krasnoyarsk route
but the new aviation agreement
also allows for further expansion
of AirBridge operations to and
from Narita between 2008 and
2010. These extra services will
provide outstanding expansion
opportunities for the airline as
it strengthens its position in
the region.
As part
of the development of its
business partnership with NCA,
ABC will also provide its clients
with additional cargo capacity on
board NCA's existing twice-weekly
flights from Tokyo to Frankfurt
via the AirBridge hub in
Krasnoyarsk in the Russian Far
East.
Narita
is one of the world's largest
cargo airports, ranked third in
terms of freight throughput. Some
100 cities in 40 countries are
connected to the airport, located
65kms from the Japanese capital.
AirBridgeCargo Airlines and
Nippon Cargo Airlines began
co-operating in October 2005 when
NCA was appointed as ABC's
general sales agent in
Japan.
