Volga-Dnepr Airlines To Use e-Link Systems

Jeppesen and Volga-Dnepr Airlines, the world's largest transporter of oversized and heavyweight air cargo, recently signed a contract for Jeppesen's e-Link services.

Both e-Link Online and e-Link for Windows are ground-based solutions that give airline personnel secure access to charts, NOTAMs, and data electronically via the Internet, or via a locally installed program, allowing them to shed much of the paper once needed in the operations environment. Jeppesen will supply information for more than 950 locations.

"We have now worked with Jeppesen for over 17 years using their global navigation database, and we find the quality of their products and services to be excellent," said Sergey Dyachkov, general director, Volga-Dnepr Airlines. "This next stage is intended to further develop prompt delivery of air navigation information to Volga-Dnepr's away-from-base aircraft operating flights in all of the world's regions."

"Our e-Link products are just some of the many digital solutions Jeppesen now offers to help our customers operate more efficiently, and free them of the constraints inherent with physical paper media," said Thomas Wede, senior vice president and general manager, Jeppesen Commercial and Military Aviation. "We are pleased to help our long time customer, Volga-Dnepr, shift into digital delivery technologies."

Volga-Dnepr is the largest operator of Antonov An-124 large cargo aircraft. It also operates a fleet of Boeing 747-400 freighters, and has five 747-8 Freighters (shown above) on order. Jeppesen is a Boeing subsidiary.
