Aerotranscargo is a cargo airline based in Moldova, with its main office located at Chișinău International Airport, Moldova.
History
Established in 2012, Aerotranscargo specializes in operating charter cargo flights, primarily utilizing Boeing 747-400F freighter aircraft. The airline's fleet grew to six planes in 2020 after acquiring two additional 747-400Fs, followed by the addition of a seventh aircraft purchased from Thai Airways in 2021.
In February 2021, the airline revealed intentions to create a new branch named Aerotranscargo NL, which would be headquartered at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. This subsidiary aimed to serve routes connecting to China, Hong Kong, and the United States. The initial plan involved leasing two Boeing 747 freighters, with future goals to expand the fleet up to ten aircraft, including Boeing 747-8F and 777F models. Nevertheless, by May 2021, these expansion plans were discontinued and Aerotranscargo NL ceased operations without launching any flights.
