AIR ONE International Holdings has taken delivery of its first Boeing 777 Freighter following a handover ceremony at Boeing’s Everett production facility in Washington.
The production freighter is the first of two new 777Fs purchased by AeroTransCargo FZE, the aviation asset management company and subsidiary of AIR ONE International Holdings. The second aircraft is due to be delivered in Q4 2025.
The first 777F will be placed on an operating lease with British cargo airline, One Air, an affiliate of AIR ONE International Holdings, and is painted in One Air’s distinctive blue, yellow, and white livery.

“This is a proud day for our group of companies. It marks the delivery of our first-ever 777 Freighter production aircraft which we look forward to introducing to our wider network of airlines. The 107-tonne payload capacity of the Boeing 777F blends well with the Boeing 747-400Fs our airlines are already successfully operating in major cargo markets globally. Alongside the second 777F joining over the next few months, the introduction of this new aircraft is the beginning of our long-term fleet acquisition strategy and reflects our intended growth path. We are positioning ourselves to become a leading international provider of commercial cargo capacity,” said Guneet Mirchandani, Chairman of AIR ONE International Holdings.
David Tattersall, Chief Technical Officer at One Air, added: “Since our first commercial flight between Asia and Europe two years ago, One Air has gained considerable support from customers in both markets as well as the Middle East. Welcoming a 777F into our fleet to join our existing Boeing 747-400 Freighters opens new and exciting opportunities as we continue our growth.”
“We are pleased to support AIR ONE’s continued growth with the introduction of the 777 Freighter, providing the group’s airlines with greater value and seamless fleet integration,” said Omar Arekat, Boeing vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing for the Middle East. “As the world’s largest, most capable twin-engine freighter today, the 777 Freighter will deliver capacity, range, and reliability to support their customers’ expanding cargo operations.”
