CargoLogicAir (CLA), the UK’s only maindeck cargo airline, has taken delivery of its fourth Boeing 747 freighter.
The latest 747-400ERF joins the airline’s fleet on an operating lease and will initially be used to meet customer demand on CLA’s routes to the United States. The delivery also keeps CLA 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, said: “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 747F 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.”
Additional aircraft capacity will also enable customers to benefit further from seamless connections into the international network of CLA’s strategic partner, AirBridgeCargo Airlines, extending its reach to more markets in Europe, Russia, the Americas and Asia Pacific.
CargoLogicAir’s fleet now consists of three Boeing 747-400 freighters and one 747-8F offering a payload capacity of up to 139 tonnes as well as nose- and side- door loading capabilities.
