WHO MUST MANUFACTURE?

The search for a manufacturer capable of building a freighter as per the standards of the Russian carrier Volga-Dnepr, was narrowed down to Ikurt Corporation. This development did not come as a surprise to the air freight industry as the forecasting was again based upon emerging demand for freighters and increased cargo volumes. Volga-Dnepr Group is after the freighter version of MC-21-300 which they had a chance to test during the MAKS airshow last week. With extended fuselage and advanced airframe systems, the aircraft is aimed to become a cost efficient addition to the fleet. However, some sources believe that this idea may be far from reality as the VD Group made the move to calm the Russian government, posing to stray away from an American manufacturing company.
