AKIPRESS.COM - Volga-Dnepr Airlines has delivered an 11-ton oil and gas pump right to the door of a customer in the town of Farab, Turkmenistan, American Journal of Transportation reported.

The oil production unit was transported from Maastricht Airport in the Netherlands on behalf of the airline’s customer Agility Projects Rotterdam. The pump was packed inside a two-ton wooden crate to protect it throughout its journey onboard one of Volga-Dnepr’s IL-76TD-90VD freighters and by road on arrival in Central Asia.

Azat Yakupov, Senior Engineer at Volga-Dnepr, said: “We loaded the cargo using a trailer and special cradles developed by Volga-Dnepr’s engineers to pull the cargo into the airplane using the aircraft’s rail system.”

The pump unit was manufactured by the U.S. organization, one of the largest suppliers of industrial and environmental machinery.
