Mr. Korolev Oleg K, Aeroflot's Cargo Head, said, "We are excited to start our three-times-a-week flights on the Moscow-Goa-Moscow route. It marks the expansion of our Indian services in response to customer demand. Goa is a popular tourist destination among Russians, and it will add 30 tons’ weekly space ex India for Russia and CIS countries. With Aeroflot's competitive advantages, passengers and our cargo customers both will get a high-quality and comfortable service”.
Dr. Naveen Rao, Director – Delmos Aviation said, “It’s a good start and will boost the tourism industry in the upcoming tourist season. Also, it will help streamline cargo movement. India is the primary exporter of essential pharma supplies to Russia and CIS nations. Western India is a hub of many pharmaceutical companies and other perishable goods. We know most airlines are still not flying to Russia due to various sanctions. It is affecting the cargo supply chain from the western region. Aeroflot flights from Goa will help bridge this gap.”
“Weekly flights from Goa will further enhance and streamline the supply chain both for the pharmaceutical sector and other goods industries. He also added that with extensive coverage in Russia and the CIS region, these flights will further aid in the expansion of our network in the region. They will facilitate supply chain movement. We see a definite surge in demand for air cargo logistical services in Russia and CIS nations”, he added.
