The IL-76TD-90VD freighter flight operated to Bintulu, Malaysia, from Jakarta in Indonesia.
The welding equipment and other cargo was required to repair a
malfunction of the main rotor at one of energy companies’ power stations
which provides electricity for the Malaysian state of Sarawak. All 11
pieces of cargo were packed in special crates for transportation and
were loaded using a three-ton capacity forklift vehicle.
Chapman Freeborn’s regional manager in Singapore, Anton Lomakin,
said: “This on-time transport operation was another excellent example of
how we work closely with Volga-Dnepr to deliver urgent cargo all over
the world. We value the Volga-Dnepr team’s professional work on behalf
of our clients.”
