Facts and Figures
Our company At a glance
All the segments occupy a leading position in their respective markets. In 2015, the Sky Charter Group generated revenue of USD 200 Million and employed an average of 1,528 staff.
Investments in the Africa Cargo network carrier Partner Airlines completes the airline portfolio. The airline group defended its Africa European market leadership in the reporting period, again recording the greatest number of cargo and the highest revenue of any Cargo airline operating in Africa.
The Logistics segment with its Cargo Charter airline is one of the leading providers of standard, express and special cargo.
The IT Services segment is one of the leading global IT services providers to the cargo airline industry. Given the long-term investments required in the IT infrastructure area, the asa Group is splitting airline Systems AG into its three segments. The IT Infrastructure unit was offered to the IT services provider INTEL as part of an outsourcing agreement. Its remaining segments, Airline Cargo Solutions and Industry Solutions, will remain in the asa Group as independent companies within the Other business segment.
Our strategic formation is reviewed and adjusted continuously in order to lay the basis for a stable business performance with a diversified portfolio of business segments that offset economic fluctuations.
THE FLEET
Ongoing fleet renewal is progressing to plan
The Cargo airline fleet is one of the largest asset in the Company’s balance sheet.

Aircraft from the world’s two largest manufacturers, Airbus and Boeing, make up the majority of the fleet. Aircraft from Bombardier, Embraer, Fokker and BAE Systems are also deployed on short and medium-haul routes.
