European Cargo

Jason Holt European Cargo Limited is a British cargo airline based at Bournemouth Airport, England, operating a fleet of Airbus A340-600 converted freighters.European Cargo began operations in April 2020 when its parent company, European Aviation Air Charter, responded to an urgent charter request by the UK government for PPE transport from Malaysia.The carrier operated an initial series of freight services operated by Maleth-Aero of Malta using former Virgin Atlantic A340-600 aircraft which were painted in commemorative liveries as a tribute to the British National Health Service.In December 2020, European Cargo Limited was registered in England and Wales,[2] and shortly thereafter began to take over the operation of the A340-600 airliners from Maltese partner Maleth-Aero.European Cargo began converting its widebody fleet into permanent freight configuration (the aircraft had been operating as temporary "preighters" - passenger aircraft temporarily repurposed for freight operations) in 2022, with the first of these certified by the EASA in December of that year.
