Global Aviation Link has contracted ABX Air to operate a Boeing 767-300 freighter on its behalf as it looks to expand its presence in Central America.
The company, which offers freight forwarding, warehouse and air transport services from its Miami base, said the additional aircraft will be used to enter several new markets.
Juan Pablo Luchau of Global Aviation Link said: “We are pleased to partner with ATSG to expand our reach into new markets, including Caracas, Venezuela; Medellín, Colombia; and Quito, Ecuador.
“This expanded service will strengthen our position as a leader in regional airfreight and cold-chain shipping.”
The company has been selling capacity on Boeing 767-300 aircraft throughout Central and South America for more than 25 years.
According to its website, it currently offers scheduled flights between Miami and Bogota.
The company provides regularly scheduled transportation for perishables, pharmaceuticals, aerospace equipment and other time-sensitive cargo.
The agreement is described as a long-term aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance (ACMI) partnership.
ABX parent company ATSG’s president and chief executive Greg Mays said: “This agreement demonstrates how ATSG is delivering on its vision as an aviation solutions provider by matching customers with the right combination of airline and service capabilities.
“Our Airlines & Services commercial strategy is centred on growing charter opportunities while also offering flexible ACMI and other operating solutions tailored to each customer’s needs. ABX Air’s extensive Boeing 767 experience makes it well positioned to support Global Aviation Link’s continued expansion.”
