Cargoitalia is a cargo airline based in Milan, Italy. It operates all-cargo scheduled and charter services from Italy to Asia, North America, and Africa. Its main base is Malpensa International Airport, Milan[1].
[edit] HistoryThe airline was established in 2005 and is the first cargo airline to operate from Italy with private and Italian capital. The carrier’s founder and chief executive is Massimo Panagia who was a former mananging director for Alitalia Cargo. The company’s major shareholder is Air Logistic Holding and Syntek Capital. [2] Operations began with a twice-weekly service from Milan to Delhi and Chennai. In September 2006 the United States Department of Transportation granted permission for scheduled and charter services from Milan to Atlanta, Chicago, Houston and New York. There are also plans to add three McDonnell Douglas MD-11F aircraft to the fleet. The airline is owned by Air Logistic Holding (59.8%) and Tristar (40.2%)[1]. As of December 2008, Alis Aerolinee Italiane has acquired Cargoitalia to get the air operator certificate of the financially struggling cargo carrier. The AOC is a prerequisite for its bid for the cargo division of Alitalia that CAI is not interested in. Cargoitalia has since replaced its operations with its single DC-10-30F freighter and has laid off the majority of its staff. In May 2009, the airline restarted operations with a single McDonell Douglas MD-11F. [edit] DestinationsCargoitalia connects destinations in Asia, and North America service started September 2009.
