Northern Air Cargo Inc. said April 24 that it has acquired and been granted operating authority for its first 767-300 wide-body aircraft. NAC flight crews and maintenance technicians will be operating and maintaining a total of three newly converted 767-300 freighters by the end of 2018.

The three aircraft will be branded for NAC and its sister air cargo brands, Aloha Air Cargo in Hawaii and StratAir in Florida and will be flying domestically as well as to the international and Pacific markets.

NAC’s President and CEO David Karp said, “Our recent experience has given us the confidence to move ahead with investing in newer, larger aircraft.
