History

Perspective
The company was founded in 2021 and launched operations with four Airbus A330-200Fs, initially operated by Air Belgium, based in Liège.[2] These aircraft have been progressively re-registered in France and based at Charles-de-Gaulle airport in Paris together with two Boeing 777Fs delivered in June 2022. In November 2021 and June 2022, CMA CGM Air Cargo ordered four Airbus A350Fs and two additional Boeing 777Fs[3] respectively.
In May 2022, CMA CGM, the airline's parent company signed a strategic partnership with Air France–KLM to develop their air cargo capacities together. However, this partnership, implemented in April 2023,[4] has been terminated by mutual agreement in January 2024 without change in the 9% stake acquired by CMA CGM in the Franco-Dutch airline group.[5][6]
In August 2024, the company took delivery of a third Boeing 777F and inaugurated new services between the US and Asia in partnership with US air cargo carrier Atlas Air (the US cargo company operates the plane on behalf of the French carrier).[7] The company also retired two of its three Airbus A330-200F towards the end of the second quarter. A fourth Boeing 777F was delivered in April 2025 for operations under the same conditions by Atlas Air.
In April 2025, the takeover of former partner company Air Belgium - as well as a delay in A350F deliveries to 2027 - was confirmed in the media.[8] CMA CGM announced, however, that Air Belgium would be kept as a distinct operation, under its own brand.[9]
In July 2025, the company took delivery of its fifth Boeing 777 for operations out of Paris.[citation needed]
