Cargo Air is Bulgarian cargo company succeeding the experience of the cargo brokers AVIOBROKER LTD, IKAR AIR CARGO LTD and the cargo airline: VEGA AIRLINES Ltd. In Nov 2007, Cargo Air has become a worldwide GSA (General Sales Agent) representative of the Belarusian Airline “RUBYSTAR” and is still offering to its customers logistic services with partial or full charter flights with AN-12 and IL76. Cargo air has sold all its freighters out of its AN-12 fleet to Russian, Belarus and Ukrainian customers. However most of the new owners of the previous AN-12 fleet still rely on the commercial expertise of Cargo Air and we can offer AN-12 charter services with smooth and full commercial control over number of carriers. These carriers also count on the 10 years expertise which we gathered as airline with AN-12 and securing diplomatic clearances and obtaining difficult authorization all over the world as well as choosing the best and safest routing depending on the type of cargo and arranging ground handling at all airports from a network over 200 contracted agents worldwide. In fact right now Cargo Air can choose from vast number of reliable AN-12 carriers to whom we trust and the situation is better for our customer as previously we offered only the owned by Vega Airlines AN-12’s freighter aircraft. Belarusian Airline “RUBYSTAR” has purchased and expanded its fleet with IL-76 TD in DEC 2010, which now Cargo Air is offering to its customers under its commercial control and management. At the end of OCT 2007 Cargo Air Ltd. has concluded purchase agreement for one B737-300 with the USA company GA TELESIS. At the beginning of NOV 2007 Cargo Air had become the sole owner of the aircraft with MSN 23237.

The B737-300 freighter cargo conversion has been successfully completed in APR 2008.
