AirBridgeCargo Airlines wins prestigious ‘Wings of Russia’ National Award

AirBridgeCargo Airlines, the scheduled cargo business of Volga-Dnepr Group, has won the prestigious ‘Wings of Russia Award’ for ‘Airline of the Year – Cargo Carrier Operating in Domestic and International Air Lines’.
The airline won the accolade based on its growth and development in 2008 and the balanced strategy applied to its development by Volga-Dnepr Group. 
In 2008, AirBridgeCargo Airlines achieved substantial growth in its core operational performance: sales grew by 49% to US$452 million and freight turnover reached 1,102 thousand FTK's. Major factors that contributed to AirBridgeCargo's growth in 2008 were a new structure for its sales system to considerably enhance its efficiency and the airline’s expanded route network.
“The key to success for a young airline like AirBridgeCargo was the overall success shown by the whole of Volga-Dnepr Group. This was secured through a combination of charter and scheduled operations within a single business structure,” noted Executive President of AirBridgeCargo Airlines, Alexey Isaikin.
AirBridgeCargo received its Wings of Russia Award at a special ceremony held at the Renaissance Hotel in Moscow. Traditionally, winners are chosen by way of secret voting by members of the Public Award Board, which comprises more than 120 civil aviation experts, officials of aviation authorities, representatives of state-owned and private companies and mass media agencies.
