Former LCC WOW Air now tries air freight business
One year after the acquisition of its brand and assets by USAerospace Partners, an aerospace company based in Washington, DC, WOW Air announces the commencement of worldwide cargo operations from its US base in the capital region in Martinsburg, WV.
At the local Eastern WV Regional Airport (MRB), the airline operates a 9,300 sqm facility which includes a hangar and warehouse with 2,300 sqm of administrative offices for global dispatch operations.
During spring, the former Icelandic longhaul low cost carrier prepared its market entry, appointing Magnus Magnusson as managing director of WOW Air cargo - global, and Dmitry Kaparulin as country director Russia & CIS who brings more than 22 years of global aviation experience to the group, having served most recently for Airbridge Cargo Airlines.
