Atlas Air, a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, will provide operating service on intra-Asia routes for two new Boeing 767-300ERF aircraft owned by DHL Express beginning in the latter part of the first quarter 2013.
Atlas Air will operate the aircraft for its sister company, Polar Air Cargo Worldwide, linking the intra-Asia flights with Polar’s existing transpacific, all-cargo services for DHL and other customers.
The new operation represents a continued expansion of Atlas Air’s asset-light crew, maintenance, and insurance (CMI) service, which was launched in 2010. CMI is expected to drive company revenues and earnings and improve the business mix over the next few years.
With the addition of the new aircraft to the company’s operating certificate, Atlas Air’s fleet of B767s will increase to 10 aircraft.
