Moldova-based freighter operator AeroTransCargo (ATC), a subsidiary of the Air One International Group, has secured a senior-term loan facility to fund key strategic initiatives, including engine procurement, aircraft refurbishment, and the integration of additional aircraft into its fleet.
The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but ATC confirmed the funds will be directed towards the acquisition and refurbishment of engines for its Boeing 747-400 freighter fleet, as well as covering start-up costs for newly introduced aircraft.
The facility was arranged through HALO AirFinance, a joint venture between aviation finance specialists GA Telesis and Tokyo Century Corporation.

“As part of the wider Air One network, we are committed to building a scalable and sustainable cargo platform, supported by strategic partners who understand the value we bring to the global air cargo market and the stakeholders who rely on widebody freighter capacity,” said Guneet Mirchandani, chairman of AeroTransCargo.
He added, “We are proud to have earned the trust and support of HALO AirFinance, which reflects not only our growth performance but also their confidence in our long-term vision, strategy, and operational resilience.”
HALO AirFinance’s co-head and managing director, Marc Cho noted: “This financing underscores HALO’s mandate to deliver customised capital solutions across the aviation lifecycle.

AeroTransCargo currently operates a fleet of five Boeing 747-400 freighters, with an additional six aircraft leased to sister carriers One Air and RomCargo Airlines. Air One International Group, ATC’s parent company, maintains offices in London, the UAE, and Hong Kong, and has executed over 3,750 full-charter operations in the past five years—transporting more than 345,000 tonnes of cargo to over 100 global destinations.
UK-based One Air, also part of the group, announced plans last year to expand its fleet with the addition of Boeing 777 freighters, as part of the group’s ongoing expansion in long-haul cargo capacity.
