Universal Sky Carrier, or USC, is the name of a new German airline based at Frankfurt Airport. USC is licensed for worldwide traffic. The company was founded in 2020 by experienced air transport employees, with goal to transport passengers and cargo. The aircraft are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for urgent transportation needs and previously contracted flights.
Their fleet will consist of Airbus A340-300 and Airbus A340-600 aircraft. This is interesting, as airlines tend to get rid of the A340 aircraft from their fleets.
