CMA CGM AIR CARGO, the air freight division of the CMA CGM Group, is poised for significant growth with the launch of a new transpacific route and the addition of several fuel-efficient aircraft to its fleet.

Key Highlights:

• Transpacific Route Launch: CMA CGM AIR CARGO will launch a new route connecting Asia and North America in summer 2024, significantly expanding its reach.
• Enhanced Fleet: Two Boeing B777-200F aircraft will be delivered in 2024, with the first kicking off transpacific operations in June. A third B777-200F is planned for Q1 2025, further boosting capacity.
• Eco-Friendly Expansion: CMA CGM AIR CARGO becomes the launch customer for the Airbus A350F, the most environmentally friendly large freighter available, with eight deliveries planned for 2026. These aircraft boast a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions.
• Global Network Ambitions: The A350F deliveries will enable CMA CGM AIR CARGO to establish a comprehensive global network, catering to the evolving needs of air freight customers worldwide.
• Reputable Solutions Provider: CMA CGM AIR CARGO offers a comprehensive suite of air freight services for various cargo types, including sensitive goods and high-value products.

Expansion Marks New Chapter

“Our expansion into the Transpacific Lane marks a turning point,” said Damien Mazaudier, CEO of CMA CGM AIR CARGO. Transpacific expansion is a turning point for CMA CGM AIR CARGO. It connects a new continent and aligns with the CMA CGM Group’s wider solution goals.
