Maersk airline prepares to deploy first 777 freighters
Maersk continues to move forward with plans to expand its air cargo business in 2024, taking delivery of the first two 777s from Boeing for air operations.
Maersk Air Cargo offers nine flights per week from China to the U.S. with three Boeing 767-300 freighters. The aircraft are owned by Maersk but operated on its behalf by Miami-based Amerijet International. Six flights shuttle between Rockford and Hangzhou on the central China coast near Shanghai, with a connection each way in Seoul, South Korea. The other flights operate between Shenyang in northern China and South Carolina, also stopping in Seoul.
Maersk currently operates 21 Boeing 767-200 and 767-300 freighters, most of which were converted after their lives as passenger aircraft. Two factory-built 777s are expected to arrive in late summer or early fall.

Maersk launches Maersk Air Cargo



Shipping giant Maersk has announced that it is launching Maersk Air Cargo, a new cargo airline to support Maersk's global operations. As part of the launch, Maersk's current airline, Star Air, will be merged into the new airline which will be based at Billund.

Operations are launching in 2022, with three B767-300Fs, which are transferred from Star Air. Later, the two newly ordered B777Fs will also join the operations of Maersk out of Billund. Maersk Air Cargo will also lease three additional B767-300Fs, which will, initially, be operated by a third party and will be used to boost the company's flights to China.

Star Air currently also operates twelve B767-200Fs, mainly for the British Royal Mail and UPS. These contracts will continue for now.
