AirBridge Cargo Adds Third Weekly Freighter Flight to Milan

Russian scheduled freight carrier AirBridgeCargo Airlines is introducing a new Tuesday rotation on its existing route linking Malpensa Airport in the Italian city of Milan to its hub at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport in the Russian capital. The new flight will complement the existing Thursday and Sunday services and has been introduced to support the strong demand for the transport of goods between Europe and Asia.

“Milan is a very important and successful route for us...we expect cargo flows from Asia to Milan through our Sheremetyevo hub to increase, and we are equally confident in the market from Milan, which is being stimulated by the emerging positive trends in the Chinese and European economies.”
