   AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) has launched a twice-weekly Boeing 747 freighter service from Moscow to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
   The Seattle flights will continue on to Chicago before returning to Europe and Moscow, providing ABC’s customers with direct connections to all of the points in the airline’s international route network via its Moscow-Sheremetyevo hub.
   “We expect our new Seattle service will enjoy strong support from customers transporting a wide variety of products, including aerospace components, machinery, fish, seafood and other perishables,” said Hendrik Falk, ABC’s vice president of North and South America, in a statement.
   The new Seattle service extends ABC’s existing network in North America, which provides customers with 747 freighter services to and from Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles and Chicago.
