AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) is expanding its presence in Europe with new routes linking Moscow with Malmo, Sweden, and Leipzig, Germany.

The new Malmo service to Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport will be in addition to the existing weekend Boeing 737 freighter flight operated by Atran Cargo Airlines, also part of Volga-Dnepr Group. ABC’s B747 all-cargo flight between the two cities will operate every Friday.

“The expansion of our services to and from Scandinavia means we can offer customers additional capacity and the ability to connect via Moscow to our network in North America and Asia,” said ABC’s Henk-Jan van Keulen, who is responsible for business development in Europe.

He said ABC is confident of generating strong inbound support on the route, particularly from China.

ABC will also launch a weekly B747 freighter service from Leipzig.
