AirX takes stake in Via Airlines, enters air cargo charter market
PASSENGER charter airline AirX has taken its first foray in to the air cargo market having acquired a stake in Via Airlines - a Part 121 operator, reports Heavy Lift and Project Forwarding International journal of Keston, Kent.
Six former staff from the UK-headquartered charter broker Chapman Freeborn joined AirX, which also purchased Elite Air - a Part 135 operator for standard VIP charter flights - which will be rebranded as AirX America.
Over the next 15 months, the AirX America fleet will grow to 10 aircraft - including a Boeing 737 freighter.
A spokesman from AirX said that heavy lift and project cargo carriers will be available in the near future, but no specific details are available at this time.
Said AirX chairman John Mathews: "The process of completing this agreement has been ongoing for many months. We will produce a company that will set a new standard of aircraft operation in America."
