"As a result of the cooperation agreement with AirBridgeCargo, we are able to offer our customers reliable services to the Russian market with its strong economic growth.

"Making the freight forwarding industry feel at ease in dealing with AirBridgeCargo will be our focus (in North America) as they need fast response times to quotes, updated information on bookings, uplift information, post flights and accurate information on what is happening in regards to rules and regulations in the Russian market," he said.
