Aeroflot goes all the way with Transnautic in Kazahkstan
New weekly freighter service between Frankfurt and Kazakhstan startet on April 15th Aeroflot Cargo has launched a new weekly DC10 freighter service from Frankfurt Hahn to Almaty, Kazakhstan via Moscow. The first departure, on April 15th, operated with a full 55 tonne payload, of which 40 tonnes was destined for Almaty. The airline is already looking at introducing a second frequency by early May. Aeroflot Cargo’s German GSSA Transnautic Aero has established a domestic trucking programme in Kazakhstan that provides airport-door services to any destination within 24-48 hours. Says Transnautic Director Hendrik Boeyng: “ We expect huge volumes of cargo on this new service – particularly electrical and electronic equipment, automotive spares and textiles. There is also significant available traffic for Astana, following the relocation of Lufthansa’s hub from Astana to Krasnoyarsk.” Aeroflot will accept any hazardous cargo except radioactive material, which is temporarily embargoed on this service.
