AirBridgeCargo Starts 2015 with 20%
Growth in Tonnage
AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) has reinforced
its position as one of the world’s fastest-growing cargo airlines by
reporting a 20% increase in tonnage for the first quarter of 2015,
continuing the trend set by previous years.
April 16, 2015 + + + In
the January 1-March 31 period this year, ABC carried 103,816 tonnes across
its international route network connecting customers in Europe, the United
States and Asia Pacific through its hub in Moscow. Denis Ilin, Executive
President of AirBridgeCargo, said: “20% growth of tonnage and 28% growth
of FTK is a solid first quarter performance. The successful teamwork and
continuous implementation of our customer-based long-term strategy made it
possible to achieve such good operating results. Our route network
development is based upon a quick reaction to changing customer demand and
our flexibility, together with the reliability of our service levels, has
enabled us to gain their growing support. Adding more capacity at the
beginning of 2015 allowed us to maintain and even improve our leading
positions in our core markets in Europe, the U.S. and Asia by increasing
frequencies out of these regions and opening new on-line stations. In
January 2015 we started operations in Helsinki, and since the commencement
of our summer schedule, we have also launched Los Angeles and Hanoi
services ahead of our initial business plan targets.”
By adding new
destinations and improving connectivity with its Moscow hub, ABC is able
to offer an increased choice of delivery solutions for its international
customers. At present the airline operates scheduled flights to 26
destinations in 14 countries using its enlarged fleet of 14 Boeing 747
family aircraft. ABC continues to invest in human resources and has
increased the number of its own sales teams, which now provide local
support to customers in 20 major cities worldwide.
“Together with our
vigorous development, we are also focused on cost efficiency by
optimisation of our network via hub business model, internal processes and
cost management. Thus we have achieved a 20% reduction is operational
costs per landing for the first quarter of this year ,“ added Igor
Telpukhovskiy, ABC’s Chief Financial Officer. For 2015 ABC plans to
continue investment in its fleet, service quality, route network and its
international team of professionals, alongside its strong focus on cost
management and process optimisation.
