Qatar Airways has been confirmed as the seller of four Airbus A330-200 freighters to the new air cargo division of French container logistics and shipping giant CMA CGM.
AFG Aviation Ireland, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aircraft Finance Germany, arranged the sale of the aircraft (MSNs 1688, 1708, 1584 and 1594) to CMA CGM Air Cargo in two phases last month.

CMA CGM disclosed in February that it was branching into dedicated air freight operations with the introduction of services using four A330-200Fs.
It stated that the move was intended to address its customers’ “growing demand” for “agile solutions” but it did not, at the time, identify the source of the aircraft.
