AirBridgeCargo Completes First Charter Flight with Elite Breeding Pigs

AirBridgeCargo Airlines has delivered over 700 breading pigs from Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow to Vladivostok on its Boeing 747-8F charter flight.

719 elite breeding Duroc pigs, weighing over 80 tonnes, were safely loaded in double-deck wooden containers, trucked from Voronezh region (Russia) to Sheremetyevo International Airport to be further transported to Vladivostok under strict temperature environment. This is the first flight in a series on 17 flights under the charter program which will last up till spring 2021 to facilitate the development of Far East agriculture sector. The flights will be operated with pigs coming from Voronezh and Tambov regions, as well as from the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Together with our long-standing and reliable ground handling partner, Sheremetyevo Cargo, we are able to leverage this charter programme, consisting of 17 flights, and guarantee the well-being of the animals within the airport premises, on the apron and during the whole flight”.

Of course, the whole process of work was controlled by our own systems of objective telecontrol – this is a feature of our company, which is well known in the aviation industry”.
