Air One makes scheduled service debut at East Midlands

[ September 10, 2025   //   ]

Air One has flown its first scheduled freighter service with the arrival of a Boeing 747-400F at the UK’s East Midlands Airport (EMA) from Hong Kong. Operated by its affiliated airline One Air, the inaugural flight landed at 05:45 on 4 September, ahead of schedule, carrying a full payload of 109,484 kilos on 39 pallets

The new four-times-weekly service has a late evening departure from Hong Kong, tailored for time-sensitive cargo such as e-commerce and electronics, arriving into EMA early the next morning. From there, cargo is distributed across the UK through Swissport’s nationwide road feeder services to hubs including London Heathrow, Manchester, and Birmingham.

Between January 2020 and August 2025, AIR ONE operated more than 3.000 B747 charter freighter flights from Hong Kong to 35 destinations worldwide, transporting over 300 million kilos of cargo.
