The past week has seen three new companies – in the UK, Italy, and Vietnam – reveal plans to enter the all-cargo market as prices and availability of capacity make the sector an attractive prospect.

Last week, Italian firm Aliscargo was preparing for the arrival of its first aircraft – a B777-200ER set up in a preighter configuration – with a second soon to follow.

The company is aiming to eventually launch services connecting Italy with Asia-Pacific and North America and has two well-known industry names amongst its management team: chief executive Francesco Rebaudo and chief commercial officer Ulrich Ogiermann.

Chairman Fulvio Gismondi said the company was hoping to capitalize on the bouyant air cargo market: “Airfreight transport in the world during the two-year period 2020-2021, with the high need for urgent shipments of medical supplies for the pandemic, recorded a surge in significant volumes and turnover compared to previous years. “A trend that has also been reinforced by the continuous and constant expansion of e-commerce. Today, the need to offer customized cargo services, depending on the product and the destination, is increasingly being verified.”

Ogiermann is the former chief executive of Cargologic Germany, senior vice president at Cargologic Management, chief cargo officer at Qatar Airways, president and chief executive of Cargolux International, and senior manager at Lufthansa Cargo.

Rebaudo has in the past held the positions of chief executive of SW Italia, chief executive of Cargolux Italia, and general manager of Cargoitalia. He is also a captain with over 18,000 hours of flying under his belt.

In the UK, ZFG Air is preparing to launch operations from Newcastle in the northeast of the UK later this month.

The company will offer flights from Newcastle International to Hong Kong via Dubai twice per week.

ZFG will initially utilize an A330-200 passenger aircraft that has been converted to a preighter configuration.

Reports suggest that it will eventually operate a fleet of three A330s.

In Vietnam, billionaire businessman and chairman of luxury goods retail firm Imex Pan Pacific Group (IPPG), Johnathan Hanh Nguyen, has announced plans to establish a domestic and international cargo airline with an investment of $100 million.

In an interview published on the IPPG website, Hanh Nguyen pointed out that Vietnam’s air cargo market is dominated by foreign airlines, which have a market share of around 88%.

However, he said that under current rules foreign carriers are only able to import goods into two airports: Ho Chi Minh’s Tan Son Nhat International and Hanoi’s Noi Bai.

IPP Air Cargo will therefore establish five logistics warehouses at Tan Son Nhat, Noi Bai, Cam Ranh, Da Nang, Can Tho for air cargo imports and exports.

It will also offer domestic services to and from 16 airports in the country, which he hopes foreign carriers will also utilize.

Hanh Nguyen said the company has been established for six months and will be ready to launch within three months of receiving its license, initially offering domestic services.

IPP Air Cargo wants to operate five cargo aircraft in the first year, then gradually increase to seven aircraft in the second year and 10 aircraft in the third year.

At the moment, the country has put on hold the issuing of licenses until the aviation market recovers in light of Covid-19’s impact on the aviation market.

However, Hanh Nguyen said that the government had also asked the Ministry of Transport to examine the possibility of establishing a cargo airline as the agricultural industry had been hit by the high cost of using air cargo as a result of Covid-related capacity shortages.
