Volga-Dnepr starts operating new hangar at Leipzig/Halle Airport

Leipzig/Halle Airport: New building of Volga-Dnepr Technics GmbH offers space for three wide-body aircraft
 
Volga-Dnepr Technics GmbH has added a new hangar to its maintenance base at the Leipzig/Halle airport. The hangar facility has an overall area of 8,500 m² and is designed to simultaneously accommodate three wide-body aircraft (AN-124-100, IL-76, and B747 or four single-aisle aircraft (B737 or A320). Maintenance time using the hangar can be significantly reduced, according to Volga-Dnepr.
 
In its new hangar facility Volga-Dnepr Technics GmbH will service the fleets of the corporate group’s freight airlines – Volga-Dnepr Airlines, AirBridgeCargo and Atran – and offer free capacities to third-party customers. Their first customers can include airlines based at the Leipzig/Halle Airport as well as other Russian airlines, wanting to avoid bottlenecks for maintenance works.
 
“Leipzig/Halle has been an important location for Volga-Dnepr Technics since the start of operations in 2010,” said Ildar Iliyasov, managing director of VDT GmbH. “The addition of this new hangar facility at such an important and growing freight hub – the second largest cargo hub in Germany in terms of freight turnover – provides a long-term competitive advantage for the company,” he emphasises.
 
Volga-Dnepr Technics has currently nine maintenance bases, located in Sharjah and Al-Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, at the Moscow airports Scheremetjewo, Domodedowo and Wnukowo, in Krasnojask and at their headquarters in Uljanowsk. In Germany they operate maintenance stations at the airports in Frankfurt am Main and Leipzig/Halle.Founded 20 years ago the Volga-Dnepr group is an international corporation specialising in charter and scheduled flights.
