UK cargo airline One Air has added a third Boeing 747 freighter to its fleet to meet to serve the Asia/Europe route.

The Boeing 747-400ERF joins One Air on a five-year lease from AeroTransCargo FZE and completed its first flight for the airline Hong Kong to East Midlands Airport on 16 September.  

An original Boeing-built freighter, it is the first aircraft in One Air’s fleet to offer a nose door as well as a side door for loading and unloading. The -400ERF version also offers a higher payload capacity of up to 124,000kg.

One Air started B747F flights in July 2023 and added a second 747-400 aircraft to its fleet in December to support its programme between China/Hong Kong and Europe. 

As well as ad hoc charter flights, One Air has recently been operating a contract for seven 747F flights a week ex Hong Kong into Europe carrying general cargo. 

Earlier this year, One Air announced it was starting regular flights using East Midlands Airport for UK flight operations.
