AirBridgeCargo May tonnage soars 31pc, and in first 5 months of 2016
RUSSIA's AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) enjoyed a 31 per cent year-on-year rise in May to 50,482 tons, and posted the same percentage increase in the first five months of 2016 to 238,154 tons.
The airline's FTK performance rose by 21 per cent in May and by 24 per cent during the first five months of 2016.
ABC's growth in cargo tonnage has been assisted by dynamic network expansion which has seen the airline introducing flights to new destinations (Houston and Abu Dhabi) and offering services to Africa via flights by its partner airline, reported American Journal of Transportation (AJOT).
It has also upgraded and strengthened its position in well-established markets, including adding third weekly frequencies to Singapore and Munich.
The airline, based at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, has also been receptive to new cargo opportunities, offering services with special cargo delivery challenges either onboard its scheduled flights or on an ad hoc basis through charter flights.
"Despite flat market conditions and depressive yields, we have seen confident support from our clients and this has bolstered our operations and ensured further growth," said ABC president Denis Ilin.
"We look forward to the second half of 2016, awaiting its ups and downs and always being ready to adequately respond to the evolving needs of our clients and the challenges presented by the global economy," he said.
