"With most of the anti-COVID-19 shipments switching to slow logistics, we could use this period to test our capabilities for vaccine transportation.

Furthermore, it is important to keep the regular flow of medicines, which were previously rescheduled or postponed, with priorities given to COVID-19 cargo," highlighted Nikolay Glushnev, General Director, AirBridgeCargo Airlines.
