On June 5, 2022, danish air cargo carrier Star Air was renamed to Maersk Air Cargo, taking over all of Star Air's eleven B767 freighters. Since the rebrand, seven more 767's were added to the fleet, three of which are currently operated by Amerijet International out of Miami. OY-SYD shown here wears the typical blue color better known from Maersk sea shipping containers. It started with Gulf Air in 1991 (as A4O-GR), then between 1997 and 2020 as N156DL with Delta before getting converted to freighter in June 2023. In 2024, Maersk took delivery of two new Boeing 777F (OY-MAC & OY-MAD).

Star Air was founded on September 1st 1987 with an initial fleet of three Fokker 27's. Over the years, it grew into a remarkable cargo airline. As such, Star Air was operating eight B767-200 and three B767-300 freighters by March 2022, the month OY-SRU was pictured on approach to Athens International. Just a few weeks later, on June 5, 2022, Star Air was rebranded to Maersk Air Cargo (a small MAERSK sticker can already be seen on the engine nacelles). Built in 1999, this airframe served with Aeroflot and Transaero, before IAI in Tel Aviv converted it to a freigther in November of 2016.
