Air One is the commercial sales partner of a growing network of airlines and is currently operating a combined fleet of 11 Boeing 747-400 freighters, offering cargo capacity to charter brokers, freight forwarders, and logistics providers.

One Air, an affiliate airline of Air One, has received regulatory approval from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CCAR-129) to authorise flights to major Chinese airports, including Tianjin, Zhengzhou, and Hangzhou. It also secured Operator Approvals from Japan and Malaysia’s aviation authorities.

These approvals enable Air One to provide both more direct and efficient connections, alongside enhanced network solutions, across key markets in Asia, where it has organised more than 3,750 flights since 2020.

To consolidate these new regulatory approvals, Air One will open a commercial office in Hong Kong to assist its airline partners and customers.

“This is a pivotal moment for Air One and ensures we continue to expand across Asia and beyond,” said Peter Scholten, chief commercial officer of Air One. “We’re thrilled about the opportunities these new developments will bring as we continue to enhance our capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the global cargo industry.”

Air One is anticipating delivery of a further two Boeing 777 freighters in 2025.
