CMA CGM Air Cargo is the cargo airline division of the CMA CGM shipping group.

History

The company was founded in 2021 and currently has a fleet of four Airbus A330-200Fs[1] and two Boeing 777Fs. [2] The four Airbus aircraft, initially operated by Air Belgium and based in Liège [3] are progressively re-registered in France and based at Charles-de-Gaule airport in Paris together with the two Boeing aircraft. [4] The company is also implementing a major expansion plan to double its fleet, both in terms of numbers and capacity. Specifically, in November 2021 and June 2022, CMA CGM Air Cargo ordered four Airbus A350Fs[5] and two additional Boeing 777Fs[6] respectively.

In May 2022, CMA CGM, the airline's parent company signed a strategic partnership with Air France–KLM to develop their air cargo capacities together. As part of the agreement CMA CGM may also acquire a stake of up to 9% in the Franco-Dutch airline group.[7]
