New flight approvals in Asia will signal the expansion of Air One's freighter solutions into China, Japan, and Malaysia and its commercial presence in the region.

Air One is the commercial sales partner of a growing network of airlines currently operating a combined fleet of 11 Boeing 747-400 freighters and offering cargo capacity to charter brokers, freight forwarders, and logistics providers.

This latest expansion opportunity follows successful operating licence applications by one of its affiliate airlines, the British all-cargo carrier, One Air.

The announcement said that the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CCAR-129) has approved flights to major Chinese airports, including Tianjin (TNA), Zhengzhou (CGO), and Hangzhou (HGH).

One Air has also secured Operator Approvals from Japan and Malaysia's aviation authorities.

These approvals support Air One's growth strategy of providing customers with more direct and efficient connections across key Asian markets and enhanced network solutions.

Air One noted that since 2020, it has successfully organised over 3,750 flights, including more than 1,400 flights originating in Hong Kong.

"In support of these new regulatory approvals, Air One will open a commercial office in Hong Kong to assist its airline partners and customers in booking their capacity to and from China and Asia," it said.

This latest development comes as Air One benefits from further expansion of its partners' freighter fleets.

In September 2024, affiliate One Air added a nose-loading Boeing 747-400 freighter, increasing aircraft availability and service capabilities.

In 2025, the commercial fleet marketed by Air One will receive another boost with the planned arrival of two Boeing 777 freighters.

Peter Scholten, chief commercial officer of Air One, said the latest flight approvals for one of the company's airline partners represent a major milestone in Air One's ability to meet market demand.

"This is a pivotal moment for Air One and ensures we continue to expand across Asia and beyond," he said.

"The new regulatory approvals and fleet growth being delivered by the airlines we represent reinforce our ability to deliver exceptional service."

"We're thrilled about the opportunities these new developments will bring as we continue to enhance our capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the global cargo industry," he added.
