7Air Cargo, LLC is a cargo airline headquartered in Miami, Florida, operating as a dedicated FAA Part 121 carrier. It was founded in September 2020 with its roots tracing back to The Xtreme Group, an aircraft maintenance company. The airline has ambitions to do Charter, ACMI, and MRO services.[3][4] 7Air Cargo officially received its FAA Part 121 air operator's certificate in June 2025. [5][6] In September 2025, they added services to Antigua and Costa Rica. In October of 2025, they provided humanitarian aid services to Jamaica.[7]

The airline focuses on providing comprehensive cargo services, including Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance (ACMI) leasing, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance (CMI) arrangements, full charters, scheduled charters, and ad-hoc charters. Its integrated approach, including proprietary MRO capabilities through its affiliation with The Xtreme Group, aims to offer efficient maintenance and cost-effective overhauls, supporting its goal to provide reliable, punctual, and safe transportation for specialized goods and e-commerce parcels globally.[8]

In March 2026, Ed Wegel was named the airline’s CEO after 7 months of operations. As of May 2026, he stepped down pending new ownership, with World Atlantic Airlines executive Iraq Pacheco assuming the role.[9] [10] In June 2026, lessor Aircastle filed a lawsuit seeking repossession of two 737-800SF placed with 7Air, after the airline missed over $900,000 in payments.
