Simple Flying has contacted GlobalX for a statement.
GlobalX fleet
GlobalX’s fleet comprises 11 passenger A320s and seven A321F aircraft (all converted from passenger-carrying models). All 18 aircraft are leased. The airline can add two more planes to the fleet before requiring regulatory approval to increase its fleet size further.
Earlier this week, Global Crossing Airlines divulged its plans for its route. It plans to launch thrice-weekly round-trip cargo flights from Chicago to San Juan, Puerto Rico, with its A321 freighter aircraft. The route will be available for charter through a partnership with Airblox, a platform that enables freight capacity and financing.

Ryan Goepel, President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of GlobalX, spoke about their choice of aircraft, saying:
”The A321F delivers 14% more containerized capacity than the [Boeing] 757-200, along with a 19% reduction in fuel consumption. This combination allows us to offer industry-leading pricing and operational efficiency.”
The airline has been aggressively pursuing growth and making significant headway. In Q2 of this year, it has already generated revenue of $57.5 million, an 83% year-on-year increase.
