For more than 60 years, World Airways has been a global provider of long-range passenger and cargo air transportation services to the U.S. Air Force, major international airlines and freight forwarders, international leisure tour operators and cruise ship companies.
We operate wide-body, long-range DC10, MD11 and B747 aircraft under multiple contract types, including wet lease and ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance) agreements. Under these contracts, the customer bears the responsibility for filling the aircraft's passenger and cargo capacity. Many of World's airline customers have determined that outsourcing a portion of their wide-body passenger or cargo requirements can be cost-effective, offering significant operational and financial flexibility.
