Awesome Cargo nears AOC, start of cargo flights

Mexico-based Awesome Cargo will soon earn its air operator certificate from the civil aviation authorities in Mexico to begin operating its first A330 in commercial cargo service. Awesome Cargo, which showcased its first aircraft, a 2011-vintage A330-200 (1218, ex-Alitalia), in a launch ceremony in February , has now registered it in Mexico. It expects to earn its AOC in about a month, after completing a series of certification flights, the new airline told Cargo Facts .

(Photo/Felipe Angeles International Airport)[/caption] Unit 1218, which had been in Orlando (MCO) since February, arrived back at Felipe Angeles International Airport (NLU) yesterday. The airline said it expects to register its next A330-200 (1225, also ex-Alitalia) of the same vintage around August and that aircraft will leave storage in Naples, Italy, (NAP) for MCO imminently. Both aircraft are powered by General Electric CF6 engines and on lease from Air Lease Corp. They will utilize the Avensis Medius modification in their operations while Awesome Cargo awaits full-freighter conversion slots for them, the airline said. Avensis earned its Medius Class E A330-200 modification supplemental-type certificate last year, and recently obtained its STC for the A330-300 , with plans to expand its portfolio to a full-freighter conversion for the A340 platform . Awesome Cargo previously told Cargo Facts that it hoped to have its first A330 receive full-freighter conversion by around 2025. That would make it the second Mexico-based airline to operate the A330-200P2F after Mas, which took delivery of the type in 2022 . Cargo Facts Symposium, taking place live Oct. 25-27 at the Omni San Diego, is the essential event for stakeholders in the freighter and air cargo industry. <a class="fui-Link ___1idfs5o f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1hu3pq6 f11qmguv f19f4twv f1tyq0we f1g0x7ka fhxju0i f1qch9an f1cnd47f fqv5qza f1vmzxwi f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh ftqa4ok f2hkw1w fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1h8hb77 f1x7u7e9 f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" style="color: #0000ff;" title="https://cargofactsevents.com/cfs/" href="https://cargofactsevents.com/cfs/?__hstc=75154765.4938063b7c61f2f4e1d99fbc82c5cea0.1687289315987.1688079414429.1688081636063.23&__hssc=75154765.2.1688081636063&__hsfp=2584532156" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" aria-label="Link Learn more"> Learn more and <a class="fui-Link ___1idfs5o f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1hu3pq6 f11qmguv f19f4twv f1tyq0we f1g0x7ka fhxju0i f1qch9an f1cnd47f fqv5qza f1vmzxwi f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh ftqa4ok f2hkw1w fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1h8hb77 f1x7u7e9 f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" style="color: #0000ff;" title="https://cargofactsevents.com/product/cargo-facts-symposium-2023-registration/" href="https://cargofactsevents.com/product/cargo-facts-symposium-2023-registration/?__hstc=75154765.4938063b7c61f2f4e1d99fbc82c5cea0.1687289315987.1688079414429.1688081636063.23&__hssc=75154765.2.1688081636063&__hsfp=2584532156" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" aria-label="Link register today"> register today to take advantage of our early-bird sale.
