The latest 747-400ERF joins the airline’s fleet on an operating lease and will initially be used to meet customer demand on the carrier's US routes. The delivery also keeps CargoLogicAir on track with its five-year growth strategy, which is based on the airline operating a fleet of five freighters by 2020.
David Kerr, CEO of CargoLogicAir, commented: “2018 has been our busiest year of operations so far, with volumes and revenues doubling in the first nine months compared to last year. The delivery of our fourth B747F will enable us to meet peak season demand, especially in our core US market, and increase our options in terms of frequencies and new routes as we head into 2019. We are continuing to consult with our customers to identify where they need maindeck cargo capacity and expect to be adding new destinations to our network in the first quarter of next year.”
