The rise of the ‘Cargo Supermarket’ at Volga-Dnepr

PARIS — At TIACA’s 2016 Air Cargo Forum last week, the exhibition halls were bustling. Many delegates had already made their initial loop around the hall by the time the first panel, “Air Cargo: What lies ahead?” was presented. During the journey round the halls, one could hardly avoid bumping into large stands presented by Volga-Dnepr Group and Silk Way West Airlines — carriers that have recently entered the European air freight market.
