Sep 13, 2010 (newstodate): Ukraine International Airlines is growing in air cargo in 2010.
During the first eight months of this year, the carrier handled a total of 2,396 tonnes of cargo and mail, an increase by 26 percent, y-o-y.
-The growth in volumes carried is a result of the anti-crisis strategy undertaken by UIA. Despite the crisis, the echoes of which we still feel, the company has launched new routes, increased flight frequencies and introduced modern technologies to marketing and sales, says Yuri Miroshnikov, UIA President.
Besides utilizing the belly-hold capacity of the passenger aircraft, Ukraine International Airlines operates one Boeing 757SF-300 freighter between Kiev, Vienna and Liege with 18 tonnes of capacity and is working to add a second all-cargo aircraft to its fleet.
