About SF Airlines

CargoLogicAir, Ltd. (CLA) was a British cargo airline established on March 3, 2015, and began operations in February 2016. Headquartered near London Heathrow Airport with its main operating base at London Stansted Airport, it aimed to connect British companies with key export markets and facilitate international trade with the UK. The airline was a subsidiary of the Russian-owned Volga-Dnepr Group, with Alexey Isaikin, president of Volga-Dnepr Group, being the sole shareholder of Cargo Logic Holding, the majority stakeholder in CargoLogicAir.

CargoLogicAir operated a fleet primarily consisting of Boeing 747-400F and Boeing 747-8F freighter aircraft, known for their nose-loading capabilities suitable for oversized cargo. At its peak, the airline operated a fleet of four Boeing 747 freighters. Its route network spanned international destinations, covering routes between the UK, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. This included scheduled and chartered freight services to major markets such as the USA (Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Cincinnati), Mexico City, Frankfurt, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Liege. The airline was not a member of any major passenger airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld, which is typical for a dedicated cargo carrier.

The airline offered specialized cargo services beyond general freight, including solutions for off-size cargo, oil & gas equipment, aerospace & AOG (Aircraft on Ground) parts, humanitarian aid, perishables, and pharmaceuticals. It also provided ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) services to other airlines, utilizing its Boeing 747 freighter capacity. CargoLogicAir ceased operations in November 2022 and subsequently entered administration, having faced intermittent suspensions since 2020 due to market downturns, the COVID-19 pandemic, and sanctions against Russian-owned businesses following the invasion of Ukraine.

Traveler Reviews

CargoLogicAir was an all-cargo airline and did not transport passengers. Therefore, there are no "traveler reviews" or passenger experiences to summarize regarding cabin classes or onboard services. Its services were focused on freight clients and partners.

Overall Sentiment Summary:

As CargoLogicAir was a cargo-only airline, it did not have "travelers" in the traditional sense, and thus, there are no passenger reviews or experiences. The airline's operations were business-to-business, serving the air freight industry.

Safety Information

CargoLogicAir's safety record includes a significant event that contributed to its operational difficulties. In February 2020, the airline suspended operations following a UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) audit that reportedly resulted in a "level one rating," signifying substantial safety shortcomings or "non-compliance with EASA [European Union Aviation Safety Agency] regulations" which could endanger flight safety. Although its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) was reactivated temporarily in April 2020 due to high demand for air freight during the COVID-19 pandemic, it subsequently ceased operations permanently.

Regarding regulatory certifications, CargoLogicAir held an Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) from the UK Civil Aviation Authority. However, it was not listed as IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) certified according to some profiles. The airline's status as a 100% subsidiary of a Russian-owned company led to its aircraft falling under EU sanctions following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, resulting in one of its Boeing 747-400ERF freighters being impounded in Hahn, Germany.

The airline's fleet comprised Boeing 747-400F and 747-8F aircraft. While specific average fleet age for CargoLogicAir immediately before its demise is not widely detailed, cargo aircraft generally tend to have a higher average age than passenger aircraft, with the global average for cargo fleets being around 25 years. CargoLogicAir aimed to operate a "growing fleet of modern, nose-loading Boeing 747 freighters that incorporate the most advanced technologies". However, the reported safety shortcomings indicate concerns about maintenance and operational compliance that ultimately impacted its ability to operate.

Overall safety assessment based on available data indicates a mixed profile. While it initially received its AOC and operated a modern fleet of 747 freighters, the suspension of operations due to substantial safety findings by the UK CAA points to significant regulatory concerns regarding its operational standards and compliance. There is no information available suggesting any safety awards or recognitions for CargoLogicAir.
