1,000th Atran flight at RIX
Atran Airlines, the Russian air express carrier within Volga-Dnepr Group, marked the end of last month with the arrival of its 1,000th flight to Riga airport (RIX), Latvia. The milestone flight after two years of service brought over 20 t of e-commerce shipments from China aboard a B737-800BCF. The company took this opportunity to meet the top management of the airport in person and discuss potential cooperation and upscaling of operations.
Marcis Vilcans, chairman of the board of Latvijas Pasts, one of Atran's local partners: " Latvijas Pasts' transit item project has steadily strengthened Riga's position as an important transfer point for Asian e-commerce cargo and allowed the company to grow and develop as a significant enterprise in the international logistics network."
