Volga-Dnepr carrier Atran restores operations with 737 freighter

Atran, a cargo airline operated by the Volga-Dnepr Group, has resumed flights following a restoration of its air operator’s certificate by the Russian federal regulator. The airline's return to service is marked by an operation on the Moscow-Mirny route utilizing a Boeing 737 freighter. This resumption follows a voluntary suspension of the certificate in 2025, prompted by international sanctions impacting the carrier. Previously, Atran had primarily relied on Antonov An-12 aircraft for freight transport starting in 2023. This strategic shift demonstrates Atran’s adaptability and commitment to continued operations within the challenging current aviation landscape.
