Amerijet International (M6, Miami International) has announced it will make its first scheduled transatlantic service to Europe during the second quarter of 2018.

In a statement, the US logistics specialist said it would offer 2x weekly Miami International-Brussels National, Belgium, flights presumably using its fleet of B767 freighters. Based on demand and the route's performance, additional frequencies will be added.

“The countries in Amerijet’s network are important to us and have been very much under-served with direct main deck capacity," Brussels Airport Head of Cargo & Logistics, Steven Polmans, said. "With Amerijet joining our customers we can now offer a unique network and new destinations to our cargo community. Especially for both pharma and perishables they will strengthen the offer to and from Brussels. Not only is Amerijet almost certified as CEIV, with Miami Airport we work close together and have created pharma.aero. So the fact Amerijet as a CEIV airline will link both our hubs with a full cargo aircraft is a next step in offering customers an end to end solution for pharmaceuticals.”

Amerijet operates a fleet of four B727-200(F)s, three B767-200(SF)s, and three B767-300Fs on scheduled flights to seventeen destinations across the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and South America.
