Volga-Dnepr Airlines loads 24-metre rig on An-124-100 freighter
VOLGA-DNEPR Airlines, outsize cargo technicians using a special aircraft ramp extension, loaded a 24-metre oil and gas drilling rig onto its An-124-100 freighter bound for Mirny in Russia.
The rig was delivered from Novy Urengoy for Krasnodar Drilling, a branch of the Gazprom, one of Russia's largest specialists in oil and gas well construction.
The ramp extension reduced the ramp slope and enabled loading and unloading of the long single piece of cargo. The drilling rig was then pulled into the cargo hold by a tractor.
As part of its service, Volga-Dnepr also obtained special permission to operate from Novy Urengoy and Mirny airports and arranged the necessary terminal services.
"The Volga-Dnepr team was very professional, diligent and responsive. The aircraft was positioned in time and the loading was performed without any errors or delays," said Krasnodar Drilling CEO Andrey Tsaryok.
Volga-Dnepr Airlines has performed over 1,100 flights for the sector, carrying unique, outsize and heavylift shipments all over the world. The rig will be used at the Verkhnechonskoe oil and gas condensate field.
