Development
On February 24, 2012, Air Incheon was founded and started its operations in March 2013.
In August 2016, Air Incheon signed a letter of intent for three Boeing 737-800 to be converted to freighters and leased from Spectre Air Capital.[1] In May 2019, due to financial reasons, Air Incheon cancelled the order for the Boeing 737-800 Freighters as well as retiring its Boeing 767-300F and one Boeing 737-400F.
Following Korean Air and Asiana Airlines’ merger in 2024, the cargo division of Asiana Airlines was sold to Air Incheon as part of the deal, which included several Boeing 747-400BDSF, Boeing 747-400F and Boeing 767-300F cargo aircraft.[2]
On 1 August 2025, Air Incheon was rebranded as AIRZETA, officially taking over 11 aircraft: 10 Boeing 747-400 freighters, 1 Boeing 767-300 freighter and the network from Asiana Cargo following the transfer of the cargo department of Asiana Airlines.[3] 800 employees from Asiana Cargo also joined AirZeta as part of the takeover, making AirZeta swelled the size of its workforce from around 200 to around 1,000 employees.[4][5]
