Compass Cargo Airlines, also branded as Compass Air Cargo, is a Bulgarian cargo airline operating Boeing freighter aircraft.
Last updated August 26, 2026
Overview
Compass Cargo Airlines is a Bulgarian air-cargo carrier established and activated in 2021. The airline is also branded as Compass Air Cargo and focuses on freight transportation rather than scheduled passenger services. Publicly available reference material identifies the company as an operator of dedicated freighter aircraft, with a fleet comprising Boeing 737-800SF and Boeing 747-400F aircraft. The carrier’s fleet combines two different freighter categories. The Boeing 737-800SF is a narrow-body converted freighter suited to regional and short- to medium-haul cargo operations, while the Boeing 747-400F is a larger wide-body freighter designed for higher-capacity and longer-range freight missions. This combination gives Compass Cargo Airlines the potential to serve varied cargo requirements, from smaller consignments and regional distribution to heavier or volume-sensitive international shipments. The airline’s available public profile is limited. The supplied reference does not identify its founders, ownership structure, headquarters, website, executives, route network, customer base, financial performance, or specific cargo sectors. It also does not provide a detailed account of its launch process or commercial milestones beyond its founding and activation in 2021. Accordingly, the brand is best characterized as a relatively young Bulgarian cargo-airline operator whose visible identity is centered on dedicated freighter capacity and the Compass Air Cargo name. As of August 2025, the reported fleet consisted of four Boeing 737-800SF aircraft and three Boeing 747-400F aircraft, for a total of seven freighters. Fleet information can change as aircraft are added, retired, leased, or reassigned, so this figure should be understood as a dated snapshot rather than a permanent specification. No reliable public information in the supplied materials establishes the airline’s exact operating markets or whether it maintains a fixed scheduled network, charter program, ACMI activity, or a combination of cargo-airline models. Compass Cargo Airlines should not be confused with unrelated companies or brands using the word Compass. Its authoritative reference subject is the Bulgarian cargo airline identified by the Wikipedia title “Compass Cargo Airlines.”
History
Compass Cargo Airlines was founded in Bulgaria in 2021 and became active in the same year. The available reference material describes it as a cargo airline and notes that it is also branded as Compass Air Cargo. Unlike passenger carriers, its operating identity is built around freighter aircraft and the movement of goods by air. The airline’s documented fleet includes Boeing 737-800SF and Boeing 747-400F aircraft. The 737-800SF is a passenger-to-freighter conversion based on the Boeing 737 Next Generation platform. It is generally suited to regional and medium-range cargo work, offering a balance between payload, operating flexibility, and access to airports that may not support larger wide-body freighters. The 747-400F is a substantially larger freighter with greater cargo volume and payload capability, making it appropriate for long-haul or high-density freight missions. The supplied reference does not provide further detail about Compass Cargo Airlines’ founders, corporate ownership, headquarters, regulatory certificates, initial routes, commercial partners, or launch customers. It also does not establish whether the airline operates scheduled services, charter flights, aircraft-leasing or ACMI arrangements, or a mixture of these activities. Consequently, the company’s early history can be documented with confidence only at a high level: it was established and activated in 2021 as a Bulgarian cargo carrier. By August 2025, the airline was reported to operate four Boeing 737-800SF aircraft and three Boeing 747-400F aircraft. This seven-aircraft fleet represents the clearest publicly documented indicator of the carrier’s operating scale. The mixed fleet suggests an effort to cover different cargo profiles, with narrow-body freighters providing flexible regional capacity and 747 freighters supporting larger-volume operations. However, the reference materials do not identify specific destinations, cargo specialties, fleet registration details, or the commercial rationale behind the fleet composition. Because the available public record is brief, there are no substantiated milestones in the supplied materials concerning major route launches, ownership changes, fleet expansions before August 2025, financial results, safety events, litigation, marketing campaigns, or executive appointments. The brand’s documented history therefore remains a concise account of its 2021 formation and its subsequent operation of Boeing freighter aircraft.

Compass Cargo Airlines operates Boeing 737-800SF aircraft as part of its dedicated freighter fleet. This narrow-body converted freighter type is suited to regional and medium-range freight services, offering operational flexibility and capacity for smaller or time-sensitive consignments. The available reference identifies four aircraft of this type in the airline’s fleet as of August 2025, but does not specify routes, payload figures, customers, or service schedules.

The airline was reported to operate three Boeing 747-400F aircraft as of August 2025. Public reference material does not identify the aircraft’s individual assignments, routes, cargo customers, or utilization pattern.
