Uzbekistan-based My Freighter has signed an interline agreement with Icelandair Cargo to open up opportunities for cargo transportation between Central Asia, Europe and North America. As a result of the partnership, My Freighter’s customers now have access to a range of destinations across North America, including New York (JFK), Washington DC (IAD), Orlando (MCO), Minneapolis (MSP) and Toronto (YYZ), said the Tashkent-hubbed airline in a press release on 23 May.

The network expansion provided by the partnership also enhances My Freighter’s delivery capabilities, particularly for verticals such as e-commerce, pharmaceuticals and perishables, added the airline. This interline agreement is part of My Freighter’s strategy to strengthen its position in the global cargo transportation market. The airline also has similar agreements with Air Europa and American Airlines to expand its presence in the Americas, plus Aeromexico to enable connectivity to Mexico.

My Freighter has seven 767-300 freighters, the last of which was delivered earlier this month. Six of the airline’s 767-300s are passenger to freighter (P2F) conversions and one is a production freighter. In March, My Freighter also added a Boeing 757-200P2F to its fleet. According to data from Planespotters, Icelandair Cargo operates a fleet of two 767-300P2Fs and also utilises the cargo capacity of Icelandair’s passenger aircraft.
