AviaAM Leasing, part of the Avia Solutions Group, has acquired a Boeing 747-400F nose-loader aircraft which has already started commercial operations on behalf of Magma Aviation.
The aircraft – which is a part of the Magma Aviation fleet – has been recently painted in the Magma Aviation livery with the new addition of the Avia Solutions Group logo.
The aircraft took its first commercial cargo flight on August 4. Tom Helyar, General Manager at Magma Aviation said, “We are very excited to add this new B747-400F to our fleet, bringing the total number of aircraft to four.
“The benefits of a factory-built freighter, is that it offers greater capability for over-length and heavy cargo, overcoming the constraints of a converted side-door only B747. Added to this, the aircraft has a significantly higher payload – 121 tons compared to 105 tons - and a higher performance range.”
Tadas Goberis, Chief Executive Officer of AviaAM Leasing added: “The service agreement between AviaAM and Magma Aviation is first of a kind for a freighter of such scale in our fleet. This acquisition is of a great importance for AviaAM further strengthening our position as a reliable and world-class leasing services provider, stepping into cargo aircraft market.”
