The two new 777Fs from Boeing will be operated by Maersk’s in-house aircraft operator, Star Air, and they will be deployed by 2024.
The leased 767-300s will be operated next year by Cargo Aircraft Management, the leasing arm of Air Transport Services Group (ATSG).
Vincent Clerc, Executive Vice President and CEO of Ocean & Logistics at Maersk says: “This year, we have strengthened our integrated logistics offering through e-commerce logistics acquisitions, tech investments, expanding our warehouse footprint and as a natural next step, we are now ramping up our air freight capacity, creating a broader network to cater even better for the needs of customers.”
Ihssane Mounir, Senior Vice President of Commercial Sales and Marketing at Boeing says: “The market leading efficiency and incredible range of the 777 Freighter will provide Maersk flexibility to profitably operate the airplane across its large air freight network.”
