History






= PPE charter flights

=
European Cargo began operations in April 2020 when its parent company, European Aviation Air Charter, responded to an urgent charter request by the UK government for PPE transport from Malaysia. The carrier operated an initial series of freight services operated by Maleth-Aero of Malta using former Virgin Atlantic A340-600 aircraft which were painted in commemorative liveries as a tribute to the British National Health Service.




= Establishment of permanent operation

=
In December 2020, European Cargo Limited was registered in England and Wales, and shortly thereafter began to take over the operation of the A340-600 airliners from Maltese partner Maleth-Aero. These aircraft were thus placed on the UK register beginning in February 2021.
European Cargo began converting its widebody fleet into permanent freight configuration (the aircraft had been operating as temporary "preighters" - passenger aircraft temporarily repurposed for freight operations) in 2022, with the first of these certified by the EASA in December of that year.[1] The airline also received investment from Priority 1, a US logistics broker, in 2022. In 2023, European Cargo opened a new route from Bournemouth to Chengdu, and also began fresh fish charters between Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes and Heathrow Airport.
