The deals call for ATSG’s Cargo Aircraft Management (CAM) and ABX Air subsidiaries to continue leasing aircraft to DHL and fly the aircraft within DHL’s global network, a press release published on the website Business Wire stated.

According to ATSG, the agreements include six-year lease extensions for five Boeing 767 freighters through April 2028. The companies also agreed to expand their crew, maintenance, and insurance agreement, which will add two more 767 Boeing freighters.
The expansion brings the total freighter aircraft flown under the agreements to 12, the release stated.
In May 2021, DHL agreed to lease additional 767 freighters from CAM, the release stated.
