AirBridgeCargo ordered to pay BOC Aviation for defaulting on three leases for Boeing 747-8 freighters and failing to return two of the aircraft and two engines.
AirBridgeCargo used to be Russia’s largest freight carrier but ceased operations after the introduction of Western sanctions following the invasion of Ukraine.
AirBridgeCargo’s new link to Singapore establishes the first dedicated freight link between Changi International Airport and the Russian capital and will further strengthen the Asian gateway’s connectivity to Russia and beyond. The airline is offering a twice weekly service on the Moscow – Singapore – Hong Kong – Moscow routing using a Boeing 747-8F.
The airline, part of the Volga-Dnepr Group, introduced a twice weekly connection to Nội Bài International Airport in Hanoi from its base at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport from April 1, 2015. The flights from Vietnam operate via Hong Kong and connect in the Russian capital to AirBridgeCargo’s wider network into Europe and the United States.
