CMA CGM Air Cargo is the cargo airline division of the CMA CGM shipping group. It operates primarily out of Charles-de-Gaulle Airport in Paris, France.
History
The company was founded in 2021 and launched operations with four Airbus A330-200Fs, initially operated by Air Belgium, based in Liège.[2] These aircraft have been progressively re-registered in France and based at Charles-de-Gaulle airport in Paris together with two Boeing 777Fs delivered in June 2022.[3] 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 and two additional Boeing 777Fs[4] 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. However, this partnership, implemented in April 2023,[5] has been terminated by mutual agreement in January 2024 without change in the 9% stake acquired by CMA CGM in the Franco-Dutch airline group.[6][7]
In March 2024, the company announced new services between the US and Asia starting in the summer of 2024 while in April, the trade press mentioned a partnership with US air cargo carrier Atlas Air to implement the new operations.[8]
