Allied Air Leasing The Aircraft For Africa-Europe Routes
World Airways has extended its cooperation with Allied Air Cargo
for the lease of two MD-11F aircraft beginning in January 2012 for
service between Europe and various cities in Africa. World Airways,
a subsidiary of Global Aviation Holdings Inc., began operating
aircraft for Allied Air in October 2008.
"Allied Air Cargo and World Airways have built up a strong
commercial relationship over the last three years and I am pleased
that we are extending this cooperation with a multiple-year
agreement," said Brian Bauer, Chief Commercial Officer for Global
Aviation Holdings. "World Airways will provide two MD-11 freighters
to further serve the international needs of Allied and their
business partners in Europe and in Africa. Allied is a leading
provider in these markets, and World is proud to be the airline of
choice for their wide-body cargo capacity."
"ANA Aviation and Allied Air are pleased to renew our wet-lease
agreement with World Airways for the lease of two MD11Fs on a
long-term basis," said Andrew Leslie, the Commercial Director. He
also commented, "The last three years that we have been leasing
aircraft from World Airways have gone very well indeed, and we hope
to grow our business further together as we expand our route
network throughout Africa, as well as offering ad-hoc charter
solutions on a worldwide basis."
Allied Air is a Nigerian all-cargo airline operating four Boeing
727 freighters in addition to the two MD-11 freighters leased from
World Airways. Allied works closely with its worldwide sales agent,
ANA Aviation Services, to provide scheduled flights and ad hoc
charter services. Allied Air carries more than 400 tons per week of
fresh flowers and vegetables from both Kenya and Uganda to the
major European markets in Holland and the United Kingdom
