Volga-Dnepr Airlines\u2019 resurgent oil-and-gas (O&G) cargo volumes are the latest indication that rising prices at the pump are translating into renewed investment in the sticky black stuff. A 68.8-tonne payload, including a pump and vaporizer skids that were flown to Seoul, South Korea, was a newsworthy illustration of how infrastructure-intensive the business is, and the growing role that air cargo plays in refining and processing crude.
\nOperated on behalf of Air Charter Service and France Heppner Transport & Logistics, a Volga-Dnepr An-124-100 freighter transported the cargo from Switzerland\u2019s EuroAirport Basle-Mulhouse Freiburg to Seoul\u2019s Incheon International Airport.
\nThe shipment \u2013 two 19.5-tonne pieces and two more weighing 14.8 tonnes each \u2013 was loaded using the An-124-100\u2019s onboard crane system.
\nFollowing the three-hour loading process, Alexandre Busila, cargo director of Air Charter Service France, said, \u201cThe loading of this cargo needed meticulous preparation with the Volga-Dnepr team. Thanks to our joint work, the flight was a real success. This charter project shows that the O&G industry is still doing well.\u201d
