RUSSIA's AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC), part of the Volga-Dnepr Group, has taken delivery of its second 747-8 freighter from Boeing's Seattle plant.
The new aircraft will be used on ABC's existing route network linking Europe, Asia and the US with the airline's hub in Moscow. It took delivery of its first B747-8 in January 2012, which is part of its order for five of the new generation cargo aircraft. The airline also has options for five more, a group statement said.
"The introduction of another new freighter will benefit both our company and our customers, who will appreciate the additional features of the aircraft. We have been successfully operating our first B747-8F for three months and the deployment of the second plane will see the continued realisation of ABC's fleet modernisation and optimisation strategy," said AirBridgeCargo president Tatyana Arslanova.
"The optimisation of new aircraft in our fleet will have a direct impact on our commitment to further quality improvement," she said.
With the delivery of the new B747-8F, AirBridgeCargo Airlines' fleet will total 12 B747 freighters.
