Cargo hubs & stations
No station list is maintained on purpose. Volga-Dnepr publishes neither a station directory nor a schedule; according to the carrier the scheduled network is limited to services to and from China, while charter flights are planned worldwide on an ad hoc basis.
Fleet & capacity
The fleet entries deliberately give no aircraft numbers. The available sources on the serviceable fleet differ substantially, and several An-124s have been impounded abroad since 2022.

0 · Full charter for outsize and superheavy shipments · 120,000 kg
Payload up to 120 tonnes, cargo hold 1,050 cubic metres, loading and unloading through nose and tail doors. Quantity deliberately not recorded: the carrier gives neither a reference date nor a number on its fleet pages, and third-party figures for the serviceable fleet contradict each other.
Antonow An-124-100M-150
0 · Uprated Ruslan variant for payloads up to 150 tonnes · 150,000 kg
In service since 2019. Reinforced landing gear and cargo floor raise the payload of the existing Ruslans from 120 to 150 tonnes. Quantity deliberately not recorded.

OOO Aviakompaniya Volga-Dnepr, trading internationally as Volga-Dnepr Airlines, is a Russian cargo airline registered in Ulyanovsk with a head office in Moscow. It was founded in 1990 in Ulyanovsk to make the Antonov An-124 Ruslan commercially usable. The first commercial flight operated on 1 August 1991 from Ulyanovsk via Moscow and Samara back to Ulyanovsk. The company belongs to Volga-Dnepr Group; its general director is I. B. Aksyonov. The business model is pure freighter operation with the carrier's own ramp aircraft. The focus is full charter for outsize and superheavy shipments: turbines, satellites, drilling and power plant equipment, helicopters, vehicles and humanitarian aid. In addition, since 2022 the carrier has operated a small scheduled network with the Il-76TD-90VD to and from China, on which palletised individual consignments from 0.5 kg are also accepted. It further offers first and last mile, customs clearance, flight support and third-party maintenance. The types flown are the Antonov An-124-100 and An-124-100M-150 with up to 120 and 150 tonnes payload respectively, and the Ilyushin Il-76TD-90VD with up to 50 tonnes, which takes eight PMC pallets. Frachtportal deliberately publishes no aircraft numbers because the available figures for the serviceable fleet differ substantially. The home base and hub is Ulyanovsk Vostochny (ULY). There the company has run its own aviation technical base since 1991 and its flight operations control centre since February 2012. What matters for forwarders: Volga-Dnepr is on the sanctions lists of the United States, the EU, the United Kingdom and Canada. The IATA Clearing House member list of 6 August 2026 shows VI-412 as suspended. There is no self-service shipment tracking; cargo status is given by customer service only.
