My Freighter Airlines and Air Europa have announced an interline partnership that allows both carriers to access each other’s cargo networks via North America, South America, the EU, and Central Asia.

As explained in a post on My Freighter Airlines’ LinkedIn page, the interline agreement will mean that My Freighter Airlines will have access to eight different destinations including Panama City, Cancun, Dominican Republic, Punta Cana, Columbia, Miami, New York, and Sao Paolo.

In return, My Freighter Airlines will offer Air Europa access to Tashkent as a hub for flights and access to Central Asia through its RFS trucking network.

“We believe in creating a new ‘Silk Road’ linking the east and west through Central Asia,” the firm’s social media post said. “By partnering with Air Europa, this is the first step as we are now able to send cargo from North America and South America seamlessly to destinations in Central Asia with a simple click of a button.”

Abdulaziz Abdurakhmanov, chairman of My Freighter Airlines, said: “The partnership with Air Europa has opened doors for us to North and South America – with such a partner we will cross previously closed oceans and open new horizons.

“We are motivated to create a leading player in the air cargo market, and through mutually beneficial partnerships we will be able to achieve this goal even faster.

“New countries, a hub in Tashkent and ambitious goals to capture the market – what else is needed for a high result?”

Jordi Pique, general manager of Air Europa Cargo, said: “We are very happy with the agreement reached, as it reinforces Air Europa Cargo’s growth objectives and allows us to expand the network of destinations with which we connect.

“For our customers, it means expanding our offer by covering from Asia to the Americas with a reliable partner, putting in value both our strategic position in the Madrid-Barajas hub and one of the most modern and efficient long-haul fleets in the market, made up of our Boeing 787 Dreamliner.”
