Tampa Cargo in Colombia has taken delivery of the first of four A330-200 freighter aircraft as part of parent airline AviancaTaca’s fleet renewal strategy.
Fifteen of the 70-tonne payload mid-size freighters are now flying with six operators worldwide, but this was the first supplied to the Americas. Tampa said the new capacity would enable it to expand its presence in new and existing international markets, including Brazil, Uruguay Ecuador, Mexico and the U.S.
Taking delivery at Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, Tampa Cargo, in association with AviancaTaca and the Airbus Foundation, seized the opportunity to ship more than 1,000 teddy bears back across the Atlantic in a Christmas charity initiative. Airbus employees from France, Germany and the U.K. donated the toys, which will be distributed to underprivileged children in Colombia.
