China, in the framework of cargo turnover with Russia, serves only Russian -made aircraft, which are currently not enough to completely close the existing need for cargo transportation between countries, at a session of the International Siberian Transport Forum Igor Yaroslavtsev, General Director of S7 Cargo.
“Since China allowed flights only in the domestic park, respectively, there is an opportunity to fly only on the Tu-204, IL-76, An-124. IL-76, An-124-this is only” Volga-Dnepr “, or The Ministry of Defense, or the Ministry of Emergencies and the An -204 – “Aviastra -Tu”, – TASS quoted him.
Yaroslavtsev added that charter flights organized from China to Moscow and regular flights of China Airlines, which are operated once a week, are not enough for the freight transportation volume that has existed on the market. To cope with the problem, the Russian side has developed a special delivery scheme. Cargoes from China are sent to Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk or Ulan-Ude, and from there other sides, including foreign production, are delivered to Russia. This scheme is more expensive, but increases the volume of supplies.
