Following months of preparation, MIDEX Airlines will begin scheduled operations in the UAE by the end of this year.
Commencing life in the region as a cargo airline, MIDEX will initially serve six destinations from its hub in Al Ain International Airport, including Mumbai, Kochin, Dhaka, Bangladesh, Beirut and Orly in France. The routes will initially be served through a fleet of six Airbus A300B4-203F aircrafts operated by 54 pilots, mainly deriving from the US. Each aircraft is capable of carrying up to 45 tonnes and will offer cool chain solutions for perishable products and fresh produce.
"We will be the UAE's first dedicated cargo airline and the largest cargo operator in the Middle East with a privately owned fleet," claimed Issam Khairallah, president, MIDEX Airlines. |
