RedAir Boeing 767-300F

The following is an entry for the 2023 North American Design Competition.

RedAir, officially Corporación de Carga Aérea de Red (Network Air Cargo Corporation) is one of the largest cargo airlines in Mexico. It was founded in 1995 with 2 leased Boeing 707-320C aircraft and a base in Mexico City, with the latter being the airline's headquarters across its almost 30 year history. After replacing the 707 with DC-8s a few years after its launch, it expanded into Europe and South America, and China in 2017. As of 2023, the airline flies over 600 flights and moves 60,000 tons of cargo annually.

The fleet as of 2023 consists of 5 Boeing 767-300 freighter aircraft. All of these aircraft were previously passenger aircraft. Despite the company being legally registered in Mexico, 3 aircraft are registered in Ireland and 2 in the United States. The Irish registered aircraft are leased from Freightstar Malta, which RedAir has a 49% stake in.

N203CM is pictured in its 2021 livery. It changed hand frequently between China Southern, Candian Airlines, Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge before being converted in cargo in 2021. Following the completion of the conversion in 2022, the aircraft was delivered to the airline in August of that year. It is registered in the United States to avoid aircraft taxes.
