It appears there may be a slight misunderstanding regarding the ICAO code provided. While the prompt specifies "ICAO: MSC", the airline related to "MSC" in aviation is MSC Air Cargo, which has an official ICAO code of LSI and an IATA code of CP. This response will provide comprehensive information about MSC Air Cargo.

MSC Air Cargo is a global air freight company that launched operations in late 2022, established as a strategic addition to the MSC Group's extensive logistics portfolio, which primarily focuses on container shipping. The MSC Group itself was founded in 1970 by Captain Gianluigi Aponte. MSC Air Cargo was created to complement MSC's existing container shipping solutions, quickly becoming a key player in the air freight industry. In 2024, MSC Air Cargo further expanded its operations by acquiring AlisCargo, rebranding it as MSC Air, a fully owned subsidiary.

The airline's main operational hubs include Liège Airport in Belgium, which serves as its European hub, and Milan Malpensa Airport in Italy, which became its second European gateway following the acquisition of AlisCargo. MSC Air Cargo operates a modern fleet primarily consisting of Boeing 777 freighters. As of late 2024, its fleet comprises five Boeing 777 freighters, with plans to expand to a total of seven wide-body freighters by mid-2026. The company also partners with Atlas Air, which operates four Boeing 777-200 Freighters on MSC Air Cargo's behalf, and leases Boeing 747-400F aircraft to support its growing Asian and American routes.

MSC Air Cargo's route network is global, connecting the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The airline serves 21 destinations across three continents and completed over 2,500 flights in 2024. Key destinations include major cargo hubs such as Seoul Incheon, Tokyo Narita, Ezhou, Hong Kong, Mexico City, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Quito. The airline also leverages an extensive Road Feeder Service (RFS) network, providing over 94 trucking connections to extend its reach. As a dedicated cargo airline, MSC Air Cargo offers specialized services for a wide array of commodities, including pharmaceuticals, perishable goods, valuable cargo like electronics and aerospace components, and hazardous materials, emphasizing reliable, transparent, and agile transportation solutions. Notably, they offer a "Shipped Pharma Product" to handle temperature-sensitive and time-critical pharmaceutical shipments. There is no information indicating alliance membership, which is common for cargo airlines that typically operate independently or within logistics groups.
