25 years ago, Volga-Dnepr became the first private cargo company in Russia. At the time of its launch, its staff consisted of only a few dozen people united by the idea of using the AN-124-100 Ruslan freighter for international cargo transportation. This aircraft is still the world’s largest series-produced commercial cargo aircraft. It is unique both in its lifting capacity of up to 120 tonnes and the dimensions of its cargo compartment.

Volga-Dnepr Airlines

Volga-Dnepr Airlines, which turned 25 in 2015, is the first private Russian freight carrier. The airline operates the world’s largest fleet of the unique AN-124-100 Ruslan transport aircraft, as well as aircraft from the IL-76 family in the modernised IL-76TD- 90VD version. The capabilities of these aircraft and enormous experience of the company’s employees in solving the most challenging and unusual logistics and technical problems have made Volga-Dnepr a recognised global leader in the industry segment for the delivery of non-standard (super-heavy, outsize) cargoes by air.
