Cargo Facts Connect

In this episode, hear from Carlos Cock, chief executive of Miami-based Xtreme Aviation, which celebrated its tenth anniversary in the city last week.

Xtreme expanded into the freighter leasing segment when it acquired its first 737-300F in 2022 and has worked with carriers in Latin America, including Colombia-based Aerosucre and Dominican Republic-based Sky High.

The company last year also completed its first PEMCO 737-300F conversion at its facility in Opa-Locka (OPF) and is looking to further develop its freighter conversion capability.

Additionally, Cock told Cargo Facts that Xtreme recently acquired K&J Aviation, a Miami-based engine maintenance company.

“We’ve seen the market necessity for additional engine shops, and it’s just the right fit to everything else that we’re doing now,” Cock said. “So, we went ahead and made this acquisition, and we’re going to be growing the company in the near future.”

Tune in as Cargo Facts Editor Jeff Lee speaks to Cock about all this and more in this week’s podcast.
