Starting out with one weekly rotation, the carrier's Boeing 737-800BCF freighters connect to the Volga-Dnepr Group's freighter service between Moscow and Hangzhou, in China, providing up to 23 tonnes of cargo capacity for e-commerce shipments from Cainiao Network, the logistics arm of Alibaba Group, into Riga Airport and onward to the European markets.
-Since May 2020, we have increased our traffic from three to five weekly rotations, and I hope to see further increases, said Vitaliy Andreev, Atran Airlines CEO, speaking at a recent webinar hosted by Riga Airport.
At Riga Airport, the Ukrainian cargo carrier Eleron operates AN-26 flights between Lviv, Kiev and Riga carrying the incoming Chinese shipments to Ukraine for distribution on its domestic network connecting Ukraine's main cities.
