AirBridgeCargo Airlines, the scheduled cargo subsidiary of Russia's Volga-Dnepr Group, has taken delivery of its second Boeing 747-400ER Freighter.
Gennady Pivovarov, senior vice president of production at AirBridgeCargo Airlines, said: "The new airplane will replace an earlier generation 747-200 aircraft which is leaving our fleet this month and will prove our ongoing commitment to the strategic fleet renovation programme and improving quality and efficiency for our customers around the world."
The new freighter marks the seventh 747 freighter to join the AirBridgeCargo fleet, comprising five 747-200/-300 freighters and one 747-400 ERF. ABC took delivery of its first 747-400ERF in November 2007 and will take delivery of its third extended range freighter from Boeing in April 2008. Volga-Dnepr Group has also ordered five of Boeing's new 747-8 Freighters. Deliveries will commence in 2010. Volga-Dnepr also has options for five more 747-8s, a group statement said.
