Global Supply Systems Ltd. was set up in 2001 as a British all-cargo carrier whose principal business is providing aircraft on long-term leases to other airlines on an ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) basis. Operations commenced on June 29th, 2002 using a B747-400F leased from Atlas Air Inc. A second similar aircraft joined the fleet in October 2002 and a third arrived in August 2003.

The first customer for the company is British Airways, on whose behalf we are operating scheduled services to the Far East, India, the Middle East, Europe and the USA.

It is planned to introduce three Boeing 747-8F aircraft from early 2011 for British Airways World Cargo.

The first of these is pictured (left) rolling out from Boeing's Everett facility in August 2010.

The company is majority British-owned, with Atlas Air Inc. as minority shareholder.

We are based at London Stansted Airport and currently employ 28 ground staff and 90 pilots.
