Rosaviatsia Suspends AirBridgeCargo’s AOC Amid Operational Pause

AirBridgeCargo, a major Russian cargo airline, has had its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) suspended by Rosaviatsia, Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency. The suspension follows a prolonged halt in operations, as AirBridgeCargo has not conducted any flights since March 2022. This development effectively grounds the airline, preventing it from resuming operations until the AOC is reinstated. The suspension reflects Rosaviatsia’s regulatory standards, which require active operational compliance for AOC retention.
