Dutch cargo carrier with a legacy in global aviation.

Founded
1958
Headquarters
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Martinair is a Dutch airline founded in 1958, originally operating passenger and charter flights before transitioning to focus exclusively on cargo operations. Based at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the carrier built a strong reputation for intercontinental freight services across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The airline was gradually acquired by Air France-KLM, with KLM taking full ownership by 2009. Following this acquisition, Martinair's passenger operations were wound down and it was fully integrated into KLM Cargo's operations, continuing to fly under the Martinair brand for freight services. As of the mid-2010s, Martinair Cargo operates as the dedicated freighter arm of KLM Cargo, utilizing a fleet of Boeing 747 freighters to serve global cargo routes on behalf of the Air France-KLM group.
