Atlas Air, known globally for its cargo services, is also a prominent player in passenger aircraft operations. The airline is the largest operator of Boeing 747s and boasts the last 747 ever manufactured in its fleet.

Atlas Air's offerings extend beyond cargo to include long-term solutions such as dry leasing, ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance), and CMI (crew maintenance and insurance). In the cargo sector, Atlas operates on behalf of companies like DHL Express and FedEx. The airline is also responsible for Boeing's Dreamlifters, modified 747s used for transporting parts of the 787 Dreamliner.

The company has been providing passenger charters for nearly 15 years using Boeing 747s and 767s configured for VIP service. Atlas states it "offers the aircraft, the service, and the reliability to get your passengers where they need to be - safely, comfortably, and on-time."

Titan Aviation Leasing, owned by Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings Inc., focuses on freighter-centric leasing with a portfolio exceeding $1 billion. Titan offers fleet planning and management solutions alongside passenger-to-freighter conversion management.

Atlas operates three types of aircraft for passenger services: Boeing 747-400 VIP/-400 VIP HD, 747-400 HD, and 767-300HD. These planes are equipped with features such as Wi-Fi connectivity through GoGo 2KU and inflight entertainment systems.

The Boeing 747-400 VIP can carry sports teams or corporate travelers with a seating capacity that includes first class luxury seats. The aircraft N263SG was initially ordered by All Nippon Airways (ANA) in November 1997 before being operated by Oasis Hong Kong Airlines and eventually acquired by Atlas Air in April 2010.

N322SG shares a similar history with ANA before joining Atlas Air's fleet in May 2010. As of July this year, it had logged significant flight hours primarily used for charter operations.

The Boeing 747-400HD is another high-density model in Atlas' fleet capable of accommodating up to 453 passengers across various classes. One such plane is registered as N481MC which previously served Virgin Atlantic until March 2020 before being acquired by Atlas.

In addition to these models, Atlas operates several Boeing 767-300HDs featuring all-economy configurations offering greater seat pitch than traditional carriers. These planes have served multiple airlines over their operational lifespan before joining Atlas' lineup.

"Direct involvement from our management team helps ensure a successful operation," said an Atlas representative emphasizing their commitment to customer satisfaction through tailored aviation solutions.
