Colombian cargo carrier Avianca Cargo and its commercial partner AeroUnion have announced the arrival of the new A330 passenger-to-freighter (P2F) aircraft.
The companies implemented a commercial cooperation agreement a year ago and this aircraft will enhance Avianca Cargo and AeroUnion’s joint network, with four additional A330 aircraft expected to join between 2024 and 2025.
Avianca Cargo currently operates a fleet of six A330 aircraft. AeroUnion has five additional freighters.
“Freight transportation has shown significant improvement in recent years compared to pre-pandemic levels. Latin American exports have increased by approximately 16%, while imports have seen a 10% recovery. The A330 is an ideal aircraft due to its higher volumetric capacity and lower environmental impact, attributed to enhanced fuel efficiency per ton,” said Diogo Elias, Senior Vice President and Leader of Avianca Cargo.
