 One Air, an English cargo airline, carried over
17,000 tonnes of cargo and connected 28 global airports in
its first year of operations, and is now preparing to embark on
the next phase of its fleet expansion with a third Boeing 747-400F
expected to enter service by the end of August.

The airline operated its inaugural flight on 24 July
2023, carrying a payload of 100 tonnes from Jinan Yaoqiang
International Airport (TNA) in eastern
China to London Heathrow (LHR). Since then, One Air has been providing
regular weekly full charter capacity linking Asia and Europe as
well as for performing adhoc global charter services.

Key milestones in One Air’s first year of
operations saw a second B747-400F join its fleet in
November and the company relocated its base from LHR to East Midlands
Airport (EMA) where it can benefit from easier slot availability
and fewer restrictions around night flying.

“The first year of operations for a new airline
can be a voyage of discovery. I am delighted to say that at One
Air, our first 12 months have seen steady growth as we lay the
foundations for our long-term ambitions,” said Chris Hope, One
Air’s Chief Operating Officer. “We greatly appreciate our global
sales agency partner, Air One Aviation, for driving demand, and
the freight forwarders, charter brokers, and logistics providers
for their trust in us as a new airline. The arrival of our third
aircraft in August will expand our offerings, and by the end of
2025, we hope to have doubled our fleet based on promising growth
opportunities.”

Starting with an initial team of six people, One
Air now employs over 115 industry professionals, including pilots
who have joined from a host of other global airlines.
