Fly Pro begins A300-600F ops

Fly Pro put Moldova’s first A300-600F into service in September, diversifying its 747-200F fleet with an Airbus twin-engine freighter type. The 1990-vintage A300-600F (561, ex-EgyptAir) entered service with Fly Pro on Sept. 7, when the Airbus medium-widebody freighter flew from Manas International Airport (FRU) in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, to Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The A300 is the third widebody freighter in service with Fly Pro. The carrier flies two 747-200Fs (22545 and 23813), which belong to United Arab Emirates-based ACMI and charter provider Global Service Solutions (GSS). Fly Pro will soon operate a third 747-200F (23139, ex-My Freighter) for GSS, the charter provider recently told Cargo Facts . That 1985-vintage 747 Classic was ferried from Tashkent International Airport (TAS) in Uzbekistan to FRU in April and is now registered in Moldova. Unit 23139 was the first aircraft for Uzbekistan-based My Freighter, which launched its widebody fleet service when it acquired the 747 Classic in 2022. Fly Pro is one of several carriers that added an A300 freighter in the past year. The Airbus freighter type continues to see demand from Kyrgyzstan-based carriers in particular. KAP.KG acquired two A300B4-200Fs from JMB Aviation Group , Moalem Aviation added a 1982-vintage A300B4-200F (210) and new carrier Gewan Airways acquired its first A300B4-200F (141). Kyrgyzstan is home to five other A300Fs: Another A300B4-200F (183) with KAP.KG; Another A300B4-200F (227) and an A300C4-200F (212) with Moalem Aviation; One A300B4-200F (84) with Aerostan; and A single A300B4-200F (126) with Sky Jet.
