Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has started developing a new MSC Air Cargo solution in response to customer demand and as a complementary service to its container shipping solutions.
MSC Air Cargo has been under development for several months and the new solution will be available from early 2023, following the delivery of the first of four MSC-branded Boeing 777-200F aircraft that will be operated by Atlas Air, a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc.
