First ABC Boeing 777F freighter

Volga-Dnepr Group (consists of Volga-Dnepr Airlines, AirBridgeCargo Airlines, ATRAN Airlines), aviation logistics expert, phases in its first Boeing 777F. The freighter, which has been recently certified in Russia, will be part of AirBridgeCargoโ€™s (ABC) fleet.

Boeing 777F, which is to be deployed on Trans-Siberian route, enables ABC to offer more optimized delivery options for its customers. It is the largest twin-engine freighter with up to 106 tons of payload which complements ABCโ€™s already extensive fleet of Boeing 747Fs and gives more flexibility in terms of special and general cargo transportation.

The first commercial flight en-route Seoul (South Korea) โ€“ Domodedovo (Moscow, Russia) has been welcomed by the top management of Volga-Dnepr Group, Boeing Corporation and GE Healthcare. The guests could take a tour around the new plane and watch offloading of medical equipment.

Boeing 777 Freighter joins the Volga-Dnepr Group

A Boeing 777 Freighter on August 17 joined the Volga-Dnepr Group fleet of 24 Boeing freighters, departing Paine Field in Everett, Washington. The fuel efficient twin-engine freighter will begin operations with AirBridgeCargo, a subsidiary of Volga-Dnepr.

 

AirBridgeCargo will operate the airplane via a sale-leaseback agreement with Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE).

Volga-Dnepr Group is among the world’s largest Boeing freighter operators, flying 17 747 freighters and five 737 freighters, including 13 747-8F, four 747-400ERF, two 737-800BCF and three 737-400SF.

The 777 Freighter, which can fly 4,970 nautical miles (9,200 kilometers), can carry a payload of 224,900 lbs. (102,010 kg), more cargo capacity than any other twin-engine freighter. Of all production freighters, only the 747F and 777 Freighter are capable of carrying tall and outsized cargo loads on 3-meter (10-foot) tall pallets. This common main-deck pallet height capability enables interchangeable pallets for both models. In addition, the 777F main deck side cargo door is extraordinarily wide at 3.72 meters (146.5 inches), giving that airplane outsized carriage capability beyond tall payloads.
