AIR ONE International Holdings has taken delivery of its first Boeing 777 Freighter (777F) at Boeing’s Everett production facility, marking a major milestone in the group’s fleet expansion strategy.
The aircraft is the first of two factory-built 777Fs purchased by AeroTransCargo FZE, AIR ONE’s aviation asset management subsidiary. A second 777F is scheduled for delivery in Q4 2025.
The newly delivered freighter has entered service with One Air, AIR ONE’s UK-based affiliated airline, and is operating in the carrier’s distinctive blue, yellow, and white livery under an operating lease arrangement.
Strengthening Cargo Capabilities
With a 107-tonne payload capacity, the 777F complements AIR ONE’s existing fleet of 11 Boeing 747-400 Freighters, significantly boosting efficiency and flexibility across major global cargo markets.
Guneet Mirchandani, Chairman of AIR ONE International Holdings, said:
“This is a proud day for our group. The arrival of our first 777 Freighter marks the beginning of our long-term fleet acquisition strategy and reflects our intended growth path. Alongside our 747-400Fs, the 777F positions us to become a leading international provider of commercial cargo capacity.”
David Tattersall, Chief Technical Officer at One Air, added:
“Since our first commercial flight between Asia and Europe two years ago, we have gained strong customer support across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Adding the 777F opens new opportunities to further expand our global network.”

AIR ONE, the customer-facing brand of AIR ONE International Holdings, manages the commercial activities of its subsidiaries and affiliates, including:
