Volga-Dnepr Group (VDG), Liege Airport (LA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding reinforcing its strategic cooperation on the set-up of regional hub in Liege airport.
The agreement serves as an extension of MoU which was signed last summer between LA and VDG along with CargoLogicAir, with the aim to strengthen positions of three companies at the European market through development of regional hub and enhancement of freighter capacity.
The 30 weekly cargo flights operated by VDG or its strategic partners till the end of 2020 are to be shouldered by effective ground and cargo handling operations at Liege, with special focus on e-commerce and express shipments.
The parties will mastermind solutions which are applicable to any type of aircraft – Boeing 737, Boeing 747 or Boeing 777.
Andrey Andreev, vice president for Europe at AirBridgeCargo Airlines, stated: "We are on the threshold of our second-year cooperation with significant results and ambitious development plans. Not only will the first 12,500 sqm of warehousing premises, which will be operational by the end of this year, facilitate creation of up to 200 working places. But we are moving one step further in creating effective system of regional hubs network to meet the emerging demands of our customers worldwide.”
