Russia’s AirBridgeCargo Airlines has taken delivery of its third 747-8 freighter from Boeing and will use the plane on its current routes from Moscow to Europe, Asia and the United States.
The deliveries are part of a renewal of the carrier’s fleet of Boeing freighters, which now average just more than four years old.
In May 2011, AirBridgeCargo Airlines started flights to the United States, scheduling thrice-weekly flights from Russia to Chicago O’Hare via Amsterdam. The carrier recently has been focusing on strengthening service into Asia. – Jon Ross
