Nigerian Airline Will Continue MD-11 Freighter Service

Georgia-based World Airways has extended a contract with Allied Air to operate one MD-11F on a full-time basis for service through December 2011 between Ostend, Belgium and Lagos, Nigeria, continuing on to Nairobi, Kenya, and returning to Ostend. World Airways, a subsidiary of Global Aviation Holdings, Inc., began operating the aircraft for Allied Air in October 2008.

Allied Air is a Nigerian-based airline that operates four Boeing 727 freighters and works closely in conjunction with its worldwide sales agent, ANA Aviation Services, to provide scheduled flights and ad hoc charter services.

"ANA Aviation Services is a specialist airline management provider that designs and delivers innovative airline solutions to customers around the globe," said Jeff Sanborn, chief marketing officer for Global Aviation Holdings, Inc. "World Airways is pleased to continue to meet the needs of Allied Air and its business partner, ANA Aviation Services, with our wide-body cargo fleet."
