The Cargo Airline’s operations will reinforce international trade links
SolitAir, the UAE’s next generation dedicated B2B airport-to-airport cargo airline, has appointed OpenSky World as its Cargo Sales Agent (CSA) in Italy.
“OpenSky World, with its deep European commercial networks, will translate that capability into market traction, managing forwarder relationships, driving route-level commercial activity and identifying where SolitAir’s offer is most compelling,” stated Hamdi Osman, Founder & CEO, SolitAir.
“These operations will not only reinforce international trade links, but also provide enhanced capacity, flexibility, and tailored solutions to meet the evolving needs of freight forwarders and logistics operators worldwide,” added Rossano De Luca, CEO, OpenSky World.
Rapid expansion
The move marks the next chapter in SolitAir’s rapid expansion, extending a network that, in less than two years of operations, already spans over 50 routes across more than 30 countries into one of the world’s most strategically important freight markets.
Founded in 2024 and based at Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), SolitAir operates a fleet of seven Boeing 737-800 BCF freighters from a state-of-the-art 20,440sqm logistics facility, each aircraft carrying up to 20 tonnes and built to handle the full spectrum of specialised cargo: pharmaceuticals, perishables, e-commerce, dangerous goods, valuables and oversized freight.
Cargo demand growth
The carrier’s current network connects Dubai directly to the Middle East, Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, Central Asia, China and beyond: markets experiencing cargo demand growth that consistently outpaces global averages.
As global trade flows continue to shift, SolitAir is building the kind of flexible, Global South-connected network that European shippers and forwarders will increasingly need. The appointment of OpenSky World is the moment Europe becomes part of that network, a press statement concluded.
