GLOBAL Crossing Airlines Group (GlobalX) is expanding its presence in Canada by enhancing its operations there, reports London's Air Cargo News.
This has been made possible through the amendment of its Foreign Air Operators Certificate (FAOC) issued by Transport Canada.
The amended Canadian FAOC enables GlobalX to increase the number and types of aircraft it can provide for its charter and ACMI services into Canada from the US, including operating on behalf of Canadian airlines.
In addition to this, the carrier has secured a lease agreement for another A321 Passenger to Freighter (P2F) aircraft, which is scheduled for delivery in December of this year.
Having received approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration for cargo operations in February, GlobalX started operating its first A321P2F aircraft the same month.
Despite its previous focus on passenger ACMI and charter services, the Miami-based airline is now aiming to acquire a total of 25 freighters, matching the number of passenger charter aircraft in its fleet.
'We greatly appreciate the support provided to us by Transport Canada during our approval process. Canada will become an increasingly important market for us, and we continue to provide additional aircraft capacity to Canadian airlines during their peak seasons, as well as to provide aircraft for operational reasons,' said GlobalX chairman Ed Wegel.
'By adding the A321 and additional aircraft to our FAOC we can offer both larger capacity and cargo aircraft to Canadian customers and airlines.'
