RUSSIA's Volga-Dnepr Group has announced its opening of operations at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport to give customers in North and South America 'faster and more economic access' to its delivery solutions, reports American Shipper. 'The group will now dedicate one of its 12 Antonov An-124-100 freighter aircraft as well as crews, technical support teams and special loading equipment for unique cargoes to the Houston facility,' said Volga-Dnepr cargo chief Konstantin Vekshin, adding that the company first opened a sales office there in 2001.
'The base will be staffed by load planning engineers and load masters, operations, navigation and ground-handling specialists, and provide unique and specialised on-site engineering and delivery solutions to enable the safe and secure transportation of heavy and outsize cargoes,' Mr Vekshin said.
'The commitment brings us even closer to our customers geographically and enhances our ability to provide special 'out-of-the-box' solutions which make our customers' lives easier,' he said.
