- AIR ONE International Holdings has taken delivery of its second Boeing 777 Freighter in less than three months, marking a key milestone in the group’s fleet modernisation and expansion strategy. The 107-tonne capacity aircraft, delivered directly from Boeing’s Everett facility, will be operated by British cargo airline One Air and enter immediate service on the Hong Kong–East Midlands Airport (EMA) route.
- With this addition, AIR ONE now operates two 777Fs alongside a managed fleet of 11 Boeing 747 freighters, reinforcing its strong position on the Asia–Europe trade lane. Since launching scheduled flights between Hong Kong and the UK in September, AIR ONE has expanded its all-cargo capacity, having completed over 3,000 widebody freighter flights and delivered more than 300 million kilos of cargo.
AIR ONE International Holdings has achieved another key milestone in the group’s fleet modernisation and long-term growth strategy by taking delivery of its second production 777 Freighter from Boeing, to be operated by the group’s affiliated British cargo airline, One Air.
Fresh from Boeing’s Everett, Washington, production line, the 107-tonne capacity freighter is the second 777F to join AIR ONE’s managed freighter fleet within 3 months.
Following the official handover of the latest 777F, the aircraft will arrive at the UK’s East Midlands Airport (EMA) on 19 November, ready to commence commercial operations immediately on AIR ONE’s scheduled Hong Kong–EMA route. AIR ONE launched scheduled freighter services connecting Hong Kong and the United Kingdom in early September, operated four times a week by One Air.
AIR ONE is one of the largest providers of all-cargo capacity between Asia and Europe having already completed over 3,000 wide-body freighter flights, delivering over 300 million kilos of cargo.
The addition of a second 777F reinforces AIR ONE’s commitment to operational reliability and service consistency across its Asia–Europe network, complementing its established managed fleet of 11 Boeing 747 Freighters.
