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.

ATRAN Airlines performs scheduled international cargo flights using medium-haul Boeing 737 airplanes. It has bases at Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo airports. ATRAN forms part of Volga-Dnepr Group’s developing Small Cargo Aircraft project.

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.

In addition, the Group includes companies involved in maintenance and repair of aircraft, providing ground cargo transportation, developing engineering and logistic solutions, and providing insurance services. The companies are connected through the principle of business synergy, which is embodied in the concept of the Group's Cargo Supermarket, the essence of which lies in providing individual comprehensive solutions in accordance with the objectives and needs of each customer.
