Turkish cargo carrier ULS Airlines Cargo has acquired a first A330-300. The aircraft involved is currently registered as N349UK (349) and was previously operated by Sunclass Airlines as OY-VKG.

The A330 is set to arrive in Istanbul in the coming weeks and the airline plans to offer the aircraft initially for passenger charters until a conversion spot opens up at Elbe Flugzeugwerke at Dresden Airport.

ULS Airlines Cargo was founded in 2004. First as Baron Hava Kargo, but a few months later was renamed to Kuzu Airlines Cargo. It started operations with the A300F, which were later replaced by the A310F. In July 2009 the airline was officially renamed to ULS Airlines Cargo. It currently has a fleet of three A310-300Fs that are almost 30 years old.
