To help officials prepare for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, AirBridgeCargo said it has delivered more than 1,800 tons of airfreight to Sochi, Russia, over the past year.
ABC’s parent company, Volga Dnepr Group, said the carrier had flown more than 30 charter flights to Sochi by the beginning of 2014.
“Usually the majority of freight shipments for Sochi are transported to Moscow and then trucked to Sochi, but this involves long transit times. In the case of a major global event like the Olympic Games, no such delays are acceptable. Customers want the speed and reliability only air cargo can provide,” ABC’s executive president, Denis Ilin, said in a statement.
