Charter operator Magma Aviation has added a 747-400 freighter to its fleet as it looks to attract cargo customers and expand.

Sister company AviaAM Leasing purchased the plane and is providing it to Magma, the companies said in a news release. AviaAM did not reveal the age, origin or price tag of the factory-built aircraft. The 747-400 freighter offers nose-loading capacity and a 121-ton cargo payload.

Magma said the freighter conducted its first commercial cargo flight on Aug. 4.
