The Russian cargo airline carried a total 50,482 tonnes of cargo in May this year and 238,154 tonnes from January to May; an impressive 21% and 24% increase, respectively. The airline's strong FTK performance has reinforced the steady growth it has been enjoying of late.
ABC has been gradually establishing a variety of new and diverse network services and destinations, including the introduction of flights from Houston to Abu-Dhabi and services to Africa – a new continent for ABC’s services - via flights by its partner airline. Expansion has also meant strengthening its position in other markets, with the addition of third weekly frequencies to Singapore and Munich.
“Despite flat market conditions and depressive yields, we have seen confident support from our clients and this has bolstered our operations and ensured further growth,” commented Executive President of AirBridgeCargo Airlines, Denis Ilin.
“So far 2016 has been both challenging and opportunistic in terms of supporting our existing network and developing new services and destinations. We look forward to the second half of 2016, awaiting its ups and downs and always being ready to adequately respond to the evolving needs of our clients and the challenges presented by the global economy,” he concluded.
