Network Airline management expands fleet of freighter aircraft

Network Airline Management (NAM) continues to strengthen and extend its long-term partnership with Air Atlanta Icelandic (AAI) by adding two further B747-400F production freighter aircraft to its fleet.

The two new aircraft will join NAM’s fleet, entering service in the latter part of Q3 and into the start of Q4 of 2024, respectively.

The NAM freighter fleet will then exclusively operate four B747F nose door aircraft, with the retirement of the last remaining B747-400BDSF converted freighter later this year.

Jonathan Clark, Network Aviation Group’s CEO, says, “Operating a fleet of B747 nose-door aircraft with their higher payload and nose-door loading capability fits perfectly with NAM’s flexible business model, providing the ideal platform to carry heavy outsize cargo for NAM’s scheduled flight program and for worldwide charter availability.”

Andy Leslie, Group Chairman, added, “The additional aircraft confirms our commitment to work hand in hand with AAI in anticipation of our future transition to B777F aircraft.”
