The company Cargo Wings Express marks a strategic turning point in the development of air freight in North Africa with the acquisition of two Boeing 737s converted into cargo planes. This decision accompanies the official launch of its operations from Tunisia, with the clear ambition of becoming a credible regional player on the Africa–Europe and Africa–Middle East routes.
The choice of converted aircraft rather than new freighters illustrates a pragmatic approach: operational flexibility, controlled costs, and quick market entry. These aircraft will allow the company to effectively meet the growing demand for express transport, e-commerce, industrial parts, and time-sensitive goods.
In a context where many shippers are looking to diversify their logistical solutions outside of traditional hubs, Cargo Wings Express could benefit from a strategic positioning by capitalizing on Tunisia’s geographical proximity to Europe and its rapidly expanding regional connectivity. This increase in capacity also reflects a broader trend: the emergence of new regional cargo operators, capable of filling the gaps left by the major global networks.
