Work has begun on a cargo terminal at Krasnoyarsk – Yemelyanovo airport in Russia. AirBridge Cargo, a subsidiary of the Volga-Dnepr, which has been operating flights into Krasnoyarsk for two years, has been pushing for the development of a transport hub to take advantage of the shortest air routes between Europe, Asia and America. 

Stan Wraight, vice president of the Volga-Dnepr Group said the opening of the logistics centre was critically important to Airbridge as it planned to launch transpolar flights in 2007.

“The introduction of the new 747-400ERF direct services to the Americas and S.E. Asia from Krasnoyarsk in 2007 requires this first stage of the facility to be fully operational and completed, ”he said. “Our confidence in the Krasnoyarsk hub is shown by this investment and first step.”

The new terminal, which is scheduled to open in 2007, will be 4,000sq metres and offer a centralized fueling system. The new complex will also include a modern business centre of 2,000sq metres to host airlines, logistics companies and the storage operator.

The second stage of development is to be completed in 2008 to incorporate Tier II construction of the same area. Over the next ten years the plan is to build a ‘cargo village’ with a well-developed logistics infrastructure.
