OpenSky World named SolitAir’s Italy Cargo Agent
SolitAir has appointed OpenSky World as its Cargo Sales Agent in Italy, expanding its European presence and strengthening access to key trade routes.
SolitAir, the UAE’s next-generation B2B airport-to-airport cargo airline, has named OpenSky World as its Cargo Sales Agent (CSA) for the Italian market.
Hamdi Osman, Founder & CEO, SolitAir, said, “This partnership represents not only an operational collaboration but also a long-term strategic alliance aimed at unlocking new business opportunities in the global air cargo sector. For European freight forwarders, it offers a credible, capacity-rich, B2B-focused alternative on routes connecting Europe to the Gulf, Africa, and beyond.”
Rossano De Luca, CEO of OpenSky World, said, “We are proud to support SolitAir as its CSA in Italy. By leveraging our deep commercial roots, particularly throughout Europe, OpenSky World is positioned to connect the Global North and the Global South. This collaboration between SolitAir and OpenSky World creates significant opportunities for the development of new cargo routes and trade corridors, further strengthening connectivity between Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. These operations will not only reinforce international trade links, but also provide enhanced capacity, flexibility, and tailored solutions to meet the evolving needs of freight forwarders and logistics operators worldwide”.
The move underscores SolitAir’s continued expansion, bringing its fast-growing cargo network into a strategically important freight market. The carrier currently operates more than 50 routes spanning over 30 countries.
SolitAir operates a fleet of seven Boeing 737-800 BCF freighters from a 20,440 sq. m logistics facility. Each aircraft can carry up to 20 tonnes of cargo, including pharmaceuticals, perishables, e-commerce shipments, dangerous goods, valuables, and oversized freight.
Positioned at Dubai's growing cargo hub, the airline serves key trade lanes across the Middle East, Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, and China, connecting markets that continue to record strong air cargo demand growth.
As global supply chains evolve, SolitAir is expanding its Global South-focused network to meet increasing demand from international shippers and freight forwarders. The appointment of OpenSky World as its Cargo Sales Agent in Italy marks a significant step in extending that network into the European market.
