British all-cargo airline One Air has taken delivery of its second Boeing 747-400 freighter.
One Air commenced flight operations in July after receiving its Air Operators Certificate (AOC) from the UK Civil Aviation Authority. The additional B747-400BDSF will support its current flying programme offering full charter services connecting Hong Kong and London Heathrow.
The latest addition to the airline’s fleet, acquired on a long-term lease, is a former Air Canada passenger aircraft that was later converted to a freighter for Air China. Prior to joining One Air, it was in operation with Aerotranscargo.
Paul Bennett, chairman and ceo of One Air, said: “Our second aircraft has now entered service and increases our capabilities further – and, subject to gaining the necessary regulatory approvals, our aim is to add a third B747-400F in Q1 2024. We already have sufficient demand for a third aircraft, so our growth strategy at this stage is very much on track.”
