Texel Air recently launched its sister airline Texel Air Australasia at Auckland International Airport, New Zealand. This cargo airline is a sister airline to Texel Air Bahrain in the Middle East, formed by Founder and Chairman John Chisholm.
The airline will commence operations using the single B737- 800BCF and eventually add another two B737-800BCFs to the fleet by December 2023.
The venture into Australasia initially commenced with domestic operations in New Zealand under contract for launch customers Parceline Express and NZ Post.
John Chisholm, Chairman, Texel Air said: “We are already very proud of our reputable and successful operation in Bahrain but to have the opportunity to replicate and launch an airline in my home country of New Zealand makes me even more proud. It is the culmination of my life’s work in the cargo and logistics industries in the Middle East.”
George Chisholm, Director of Texel Air, said: “Appreciation goes to our employees in both locations for their dedication and support to enable the growth and expansion of our company into a different region of the world.”
The Texel Air group plans to expand its fleet to ten aircraft by 2026 primarily flying in Australia and New Zealand and between the two countries supporting clients through ACMI services for the express, post and general cargo markets.
