Amerijet to offer first transatlantic freighter flight

The Florida-based all-cargo airline will offer flights between Miami and Brussels starting in the second quarter of 2018.    Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.-based all-cargo airline Amerijet will commence its first scheduled transatlantic service to Europe by the second quarter 2018, according to multiple news sources.
   The airline plans to offer twice weekly flights from Miami to Brussels, with additional frequencies to be added if demand and performance calls for it.
   “The countries in Amerijet’s network are important to us and have been very much under-served with direct main deck capacity,” said Brussels Airport Head of Cargo & Logistics Steven Polmans.
   “With Amerijet joining our customers we can now offer a unique network and new destinations to our cargo community. Especially for both pharma and perishables they will strengthen the offer to and from Brussels. Not only is Amerijet almost certified as CEIV, with Miami Airport we work close together and have created pharma.aero,” he added.
   Amerijet operates a fleet of four B727-200Fs, three B767-200SFs and three B767-300Fs in and around North and South America.
