The certificate gives Volga-Dnepr Airlines the right to handle and load various types of cargo at Russian airports without the need to use external agencies. The move will enable Volga-Dnepr to increase its aircraft operating efficiency by shortening ground time and reduce its transportation costs for domestic and international services. In addition, Volga-Dnepr will be able to provide handling services to third parties.
Obtaining certification is an additional step in support of Volga-Dnepr Group's 'Cargo Supermarket' business strategy. Approval to conduct cargo handling further increases the capabilities of Volga-Dnepr as an air transport operator and improves its competitive advantage.
