Fedex's first new partner carrier in over 20 years
Airdialog, a cargo airline based in Albuquerque, is starting flight operations, becoming the first new Part 135 air carrier to launch with Fedex in over 20 years. The inaugural flight last week provided cargo service between Gallup and Albuquerque. The airline is planning additional routes and preparing to increase its fleet and team over the next 18 months.
“It’s a groundbreaking opportunity to be a part of the Fedex feeder network, and we look forward to expanding cargo operations to serve customers in the Southwest and beyond,” said David DeRose, president and director of finance for Airdialog and former Ameriflight executive.
The FAA granted approval to add the Cessna 208 Caravan onto the Airdialog carrier certificate earlier this year, enabling this new chapter in the airline’s operations. (cj)
