ABC Adds Dhaka as Exports Rise

Freight airline AirBridgeCargo has expanded its project cargo services to Dhaka airport, Bangladesh.
 
The breakbulk airline will operate a twice-weekly service to the Bangladeshi capital to accommodate the country’s “emerging export flows.” The flights will be operated in conjunction with AirBridgeCargo’s Shanghai, China, service and connect to its Moscow cargo hub.
 
“We have been reviewing the possibility of Bangladesh coverage for the last couple of years. The country’s emerging volumes tipped over 25 percent growth last year as the number of manufacturers based in this country increased. This fact makes us feel confident that our operations will be appreciated by customers, especially by those with garments and apparel commodities, which constitute the major part of traffic from Bangladesh,” said Sergey Lazarev, general director of AirBridgeCargo Airlines.
 
ABC provides breakbulk flight services worldwide via a fleet of 18 Boeing 747 freighters and nine of the newest generation Boeing 748-8 Freighter. The firm is a subsidiary of Volga-Dnepr Group.
