In the period to the end of August, ABC transported 300,000 tonnes of cargo across its global network, linking the largest trade markets of Asia, Europe, the USA and Russia. ABC's expansion strategy of entering new markets enabled the airline to achieve a stable load factor of 67% and increase freight tonne-kilometres by 22%.
Traffic in August rose by 14% over the same month a year ago to over 39,000 tonnes, with FTKs climbing 15%.
Denis Ilin, Executive President of AirBridgeCargo Airlines, commented on the figures. "This exceptional performance is the result of the combined work of ABC's global team. We are exerting our best efforts to maintain the level of growth we achieved in 2014 and to improve this by providing our customers with reliable and efficient transportation services. During the first eight months of 2015 not only have we been developing our route network and fleet but we have also been investing heavily in service technology and attracting the best industry experts to support ABC's clients worldwide. I would like to thank every ABC customer for their loyalty as always, and my team for its commitment."
