Martinair Holland
Martinair Holland, commonly known as Martinair, was a Dutch airline that operated from 1958 to 2011. Originally established as a charter and cargo airline, Martinair played a significant role in the development of air travel in the Netherlands.
Founded by Martin Schröder, Martinair began its operations with a single DC-3 aircraft. Over the years, the airline expanded its fleet and routes, providing charter services to various destinations worldwide. In the 1970s, Martinair ventured into scheduled passenger services, offering flights to popular holiday destinations.
However, Martinair's focus gradually shifted towards cargo operations, and by the 1990s, it had transformed into a full-fledged cargo airline. The company specialized in transporting goods, including perishable items and heavy cargo, across different continents.
In 2008, Air France-KLM Group acquired Martinair and integrated it into its cargo division. Following the acquisition, Martinair continued to operate as a subsidiary, primarily focusing on cargo operations. However, in 2011, Martinair ceased its passenger services altogether, transitioning into a fully dedicated cargo airline.
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Martinair continues to operate as a cargo airline under the umbrella of the Air France-KLM Group. However, please note that specific details or changes that occurred after September 2021 may not be reflected in this response. It's always a good idea to verify the latest information from reliable sources.
