JUN 23, 2003 (newstodate): From July 1, Emirates Cargo plans to start operations at Moscow Domodedovo Airport.
The service five times weekly will be operated with an Airbus A330-200 aircraft offering 15 tonnes of cargo capacity.
-This is Emirates first destination in the heartland of Russia and it represents an exciting and challenging gateway to the CIS region, says Peter Sedgley, Emirates Airline General Manager Cargo Commercial Operations.
Cargo Manager Moscow, Emirates Airline is Dmitry Salichev.
Emirates SkyCargo is no novice to Russia, however, having operated services into Moscow in 1995 with a leased IL76 aircraft that carried 40 tonnes of cargo, at a time when the devolution of the Soviet Union had lead to a huge demand for manufactured and electronic goods.
