ABC launches service to Changi

Cargo Matters
The launch of AirBridgeCargo's twice-weekly Moscow-Singapore-Hong Kong-Moscow service took place on September 3, as the carrier's first aircraft to Changi airport took off from Moscow.

ABC's new 747-operated service establishes Moscow as a new link in Changi airport's freight network and is its ninth freighter destination in Asia. Subsequently, the airline will provide over 500 weekly deliveries from the region, all with a delivery time below 48 hours, including handling procedures. ABC already connects clients in China, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam with its cargo gateways in Europe, the United States and Russia.

The new route was called a "significant milestone" for the airport for local forwarders by James Fong, Assistant VP for Cargo and Logistics Development at Changi Airport Group. James went on to say: "Logistics players, who were previously limited by capacity constraints between Singapore and Russia, now have a direct option to transport large freight shipments, as well as general cargoes between the two countries."
