First Flowers in Polet’s IL-96-400Т
On February 28, 2010 IL-96-400T cargo aircraft of Polet Airlines loaded with 63 tons of fresh flowers landed at Domodedovo airport. The aircraft brought this cargo from Tel-Aviv.
During this flight the temperature of +4 centigrade was maintained on board. The IL-96-400Т equipment allows carrying the perishable goods of all categories.
This was the first experience of perishable items delivery by IL-96-400Т during the whole time of its operation. Polet Airlines successfully managed this task and now plans to develop the transportation of this category of goods into Russia.
Historically, Domodedovo is airport No. 1 in Russia in terms of volume and quality of perishable items transportation and handling.
