AirBridge Cargo signs marketing pact with Air Canada Cargo

AirBridge Cargo signs marketing pact with Air Canada Cargo AirBridge Cargo, Russia's first scheduled all-cargo airline, has signed an exclusive marketing agreement with Air Canada Cargo. The pact covers both scheduled and chartered Boeing 747F services between Russia, the Confederation of Independent States, Asia and the European hubs of Frankfurt and Amsterdam.
   The new agreement, which expires in the spring of 2007, is expected to benefit the oil and gas industry in western Canada, extending supply chains from that region into Europe via Air Canada, and then to Moscow, Krasnoyarsk and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk via AirBridge Cargo.
   'We have recently taken steps to grow our network for deliveries around Russia and the CIS using Russian hubs,' said Stan Wraight, vice president of Volga-Dnepr Group.
