Maximus Air is a cargo airline based at Abu Dhabi International Airport in the United Arab Emirates.[2]
The airline was established in 2004 as Experts Air Cargo and was renamed in 2006.[2]
In 2011, it announced the purchase of three Airbus A300-600 previously operated by Japan Airlines for freighter conversion by EADS EFW in Dresden, Germany. However, the entire fleet of then overall five Airbus A300 freighters was subsequently grounded in 2015 stating an insufficient cost basis to keep them operating.[3]
