Dubai-based cargo carrier SolitAir has signed an agreement with World Star Aviation (WSA) for the acquisition of two Boeing 737-800 freighter aircraft.

The first aircraft has already been delivered and the second will join the fleet in October 2025.

The airline says the addition of both aircraft will significantly boost its operational capabilities.

“Partnering with World Star Aviation marks an important milestone in SolitAir’s growth journey,” said Hamdi Osman, founder and chief executive of SolitAir. “These additional aircraft will significantly strengthen our operational capacity and enable us to expand our reach across critical trade routes. As we scale, our focus remains firmly on providing fast, efficient and reliable cargo solutions that meet the evolving needs of the Global South and beyond.”

Yoram Allalouf, a partner at World Star Aviation, said: “We are proud to support Solitair in this exciting growth phase. This agreement underscores the confidence placed in SolitAir’s vision and we at WSA are thrilled to continue to develop this partnership.” 

By the end of October, SolitAir’s operational fleet will include seven Boeing 737-800 BCF freighters which operate out of the air cargo carrier’s 220,000 sq ft cutting-edge logistics facility at DWC.

SolitAir aims to have a fleet of 20 aircraft by 2027, facilitating its goal of connecting over 50 cities within a six-hour flight radius from Dubai.
