UK-based cargo and charter specialist.

Founded
1978
Headquarters
Luton, United Kingdom
Air Foyle was a British cargo and charter airline founded in the 1980s, headquartered in Luton, England. The carrier became well known for operating heavy-lift and outsized cargo charters, frequently utilizing large Soviet-built aircraft such as the Antonov An-124. The airline developed a long-standing partnership with Antonov Airlines of Ukraine, jointly marketing and operating An-124 freighter services under the brand Air Foyle/HeavyLift. This collaboration made it one of the leading providers of strategic airlift solutions for commercial and governmental clients worldwide. Air Foyle ceased independent operations in the mid-2000s as the heavy-lift market consolidated. Its legacy in outsized cargo transport influenced subsequent operators in the specialist freight sector.
