Feb 12, 2024 (newstodate): The Faroese cargo carrier's single Boeing 757-200F aircraft is now playing the air in a series of test flights.
On February 8, 2024, alone, the freighter aircraft operated m ore than 10 short flights to and from its home base at Malmo Airport as well as to Copenhagen and calling also at Aarhus Airport for brief visits.
In most cases, the flights are ulta-short serving training and operational test purposes.
FarCargo flew into Copenhagen Airport for the first time on January 17, 2024, marking the start of operations, later also comprising some intra-European cargo flights before launching regular flights on the planned route Vagar-Keflavik-New York Newark-Billund-Vagar, according to informations earlier provided by Birgir Nielsen, FarCargo CEO.
Through third party freight forwarders, FarCargo will offer services to European and Faroese customers of the aircraft's 34 tonnes/230 m3 cargo capacity.
FarCargo has contracted NordicGSA to offer the cargo space to freight forwarders from Newark to Billund, and to the Faroe Islands. Customers can thus book cargo space through their local freight forwarder, who deals with Nordic GSA.
Purchased from AirSale, FarCargo's Boeing 757-200F is placed on the AOC of FarCargo's partner, West Atlantic Sweden, later to be added on an own FarCargo AOC as business matures.
