National Air Cargo expands capacity
National Air Cargo’s passenger subsidiary, National Airlines, has been granted a foreign charter certificate by the US Dept of Transport, allowing National to expand its global reach. This order authorises National to engage in foreign charter air transportation of persons, property and mail, in addition to the domestic and international all-cargo transportation the carrier has offered for 25 years. National Airlines president Steven Harrison commented that this authority will enable the carrier to augment and modernise its international cargo carrying capacity. The move is part of National’s ambitious business plan whereby it is augmenting its DC-8 fleet with 747-400 freighter operations, 757-200 passenger operations and 757 -200 Combi (10 pallet positions and 46 passengers) operations worldwide. National Air Cargo offers airlift operations with appropriate aircraft with payload options ranging from four tons to 250 tons to countries throughout the world.
