Tatyana Arslanova, Chief Executive Officer of Volga-Dnepr Group, comments: “We would like to thank our personnel and specialists, partners and customers for this great milestone at the turn of 2021 when airfreight is in high demand, especially for healthcare, e-commerce and essential cargoes transportations”.
Natalia Butrova, Logistics Leader Russia & CIS, GE Healthcare, highlights: “Timely delivery of sophisticated medical equipment stays one of the top tasks during these difficult times. Time-wise, airfreight is the most preferred transportation mode, which, coupled with safety and security, is very important for us. For more than 30 years GE Healthcare has been providing sophisticated diagnostic medical equipment, including computerized tomographs and ultrasound systems. Thanks to our partnership the Russian doctors and patients could access essential technologies within the shortest timeframes”.
“2020 has put the air cargo at the front. Air carriers continued delivering much-needed medical cargoes – PPE, vaccines, medicines, medical equipment and other items to combat COVID-19 spread. We are positive that the new freighter type within AirBridgeCargo’s fleet will open new opportunities for other carriers operating to/from Domodedovo airport”, mentioned Igor Borisov, Director of Domodedovo airport.
The first commercial flight en-route Seoul (South Korea) – Domodedovo (Moscow, Russia) has been welcomed by the top management of Volga-Dnepr Group, Boeing Corporation and GE Healthcare. The guests could take a tour around the new plane and watch offloading of medical equipment.
