With much of the world’s air freight business still struggling to earn decent yields, United Arab Emirates-based Maximus Air Cargo is stepping up efforts to tilt its business plan increasingly in favor of wet leases covering aircraft, crew, maintenance, insurance (ACMI).

According to president and CEO Fathi Buhazza, developing long-term ACMI partnerships with other carriers is a more sustainable foundation for Maximus, although it intends to remain active in the niche market for oversized freight charters for which its heavy-lifting Antonov An-124 and Ilyushin Il-76s are especially well suited.
