Apr 13, 2016 (newstodate): Russian Post has the need for more cargo capacity and plans to lease to freighters dedicated to postal traffic.
Russian Post earlier relied on Transaero as their main capacity provider of Russian mail and parcels on its route network out of Moscow's Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports, but the carrier's demise in 2015 has left the postal services with a problem.
The state agency will now seek lease of two freighters with capacity to lift up to 30 tonnes of mail and parcels over ranges up to at least 3,800 km facilitating deliveries between Siberia, the Far East and East Asia, in particular China.
According to a analysis published in 2013 by the US company Discovery Research Group, DHL holds 40 percent of the Russian postal market, followed by UPS with 11.7 percent, and TNT with 10.3 percent.
This leaves some 38 percent of the Russian market shared by other parties, with Russian Post as the main Russian provider.
