One Air takes off at EMA
One Air, a British cargo airline, has commenced operations at East Midlands Airport (EMA), which will now be a regular origin and destination point for the carrier’s Boeing 747-400 freighter services connecting Asia and Europe as well as for ad hoc global charter services.
“East Midlands Airport has a lot of important plus points which make it attractive for all-cargo operations, including the availability of slots and fewer restrictions around night flying compared to other airports. EMA also has a very understanding and progressive attitude towards freighter operators. As a growing British airline, we look forward to establishing our presence here and supporting our freight forwarding, logistics and charter clients moving goods to and from the UK,” said Chris Hope, One Air’s COO.
One Air’s first flight into East Midlands arrived from Hong Kong at the weekend with a 105 t payload. (cj)
