Bloomberg may think a Russian company an “unlikely source” of hope for Boeing, but those in the freight industry will see it less surprising that Volga-Dnepr subsidiary AirBridgeCargo could be the US plane-maker’s saviour – or rather, the 747’s saviour. Orders for the aircraft have dwindled and cargo is now Boeing’s best hope of keeping production open.
