ACG Air Cargo Global (Bratislava) is planning to establish a hub out of Frankfurt International from where the startup intends to offer services to Hong Kong International via Dubai International. Occasional stops will also be made in Bratislava, the airline's administrative hub.
According to airliners.de, the airline's unnamed Chinese backers have insisted on a Frankfurt Int'l hub as in their opinion, transporting goods via Frankfurt Hahn takes too long, is too costly and offers no reliable trucking timetables.
Flights will initially use two B747-400(F)s leased from Iceland's Avion Aircraft Trading and which were previously with the startup's predecessor, ACG Air Cargo Germany (Frankfurt Hahn). The freighters are currently in storage at Frankfurt Hahn.
Air Cargo Global is reportedly in the process of applying for its Air Operators Certificate.
