The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has granted CargoLogicAir exemption authority while deferring a decision on its application for a Foreign Air Carriers Permit (FACP).

The Volga-Dnepr Group subsidiary had requested permission to operate scheduled and chartered cargo flights, hauling freight and mail, from any point or points behind any EU member state to the United States and beyond using any intermediate stops as outlined in the US-EU Open Skies treaty.

CargoLogicAir has specified that it plans to offer all-cargo service from its London Stansted hub to and from points in the United States. It currently operates one B747-400(F) and one B747-8(F) on scheduled cargo flights between Europe and Africa. When it receives a third B747 freighter in early 2017, it also plans to serve Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok.
