The expansion opportunity comes from successful operating licence applications by affiliate airline One Air.
The airline has received regulatory approval from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CCAR-129) allowing flights to major Chinese airports including Tianjin, Zhengzhou and Hangzhou.
One Air has also received operator approvals from aviation authorities in Malaysia and Japan.
Air One is the commercial sales partner of a growing network of airlines with access to 11 Boeing 747-400s and offering capacity to charter brokers, freight forwarders and logistics providers.
The approvals supports Air One’s strategy of providing customers with more direct and efficient connections across key markets in Asia and enhanced network solutions.
Since 2020, Air One has organised over 3,750 flights including over 1,400 out of Hong Kong.
To support the regulatory approvals, Air One will open a commercial office in Hong Kong to assist airline partners and customers to book capacity to and from China and Asia.
The development comes as Air One benefits from partners expanding their fleets.
In September, One Air added a B747-400F to its fleet and Air One will gain access to two Boeing 777 Freighters next year.
Peter Scholten, Chief Commercial Officer of Air One, says, “This is a pivotal moment for Air One and ensures we continue to expand across Asia and beyond. The new regulatory approvals and fleet growth being delivered by the airlines we represent reinforce our ability to deliver exceptional service.”
