"Today the company, in fact, under 'one umbrella' attracted assets of other modes of transport. This is an 'airport' infrastructure, we have accepted it from the point of view of formation and increase transit, primarily, air acrgo. This is also a port infrastructure in the Caspian Sea ", said A. Mamin.

" We're taking our first steps and position ourselves in the market as a single transport company. There will be a corresponding re-branding of the company until the end of the year. "
