Airhub Aviation adds second A340, eyes fleet expansion

The aircraft has been converted from passenger to a Zero LOPA configuration (Aircraft interiors removed) - it will be deployed on long-haul routes to carry cargo between Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.

“The induction of a second A340 in Zero LOPA Configuration will offer our clients additional capacity to accommodate the cargo demand, which is showing no sign of slowing. Furthermore, Airhub Aviation is in the last stages of getting the FAA exemption to carry cargo in our cabin from/to the USA - one of the largest cargo markets in the world. That will enable our customers to meet their needs and explore new opportunities,” said Husam Kharoufah, vice president - commercial at Airhub Aviation.

He added: "We are continuously looking to expand our fleet, as we expect to have 3 additional A340s in Zero LOPA configuration, 2 Airbus A330, and 6 Boeing 737-800, by summer 2022. The configuration of A330 will depend on the market dynamics."
