About American Airlines Cargo
American Airlines Cargo is the cargo carrier division of American Airlines. In 1944, the company successfully launched the first scheduled air cargo service in the world when it flew 6,000 pounds worth of cargo to Los Angeles from New York on a DC-3 plane. A decade later, this milestone was followed by another innovation: the launch of the first air cargo industry unit load container (ULC).
By 1974, American Airlines Cargo was ready to expand its network around the world with the purchase of a 747 (Jumbo jet) freighter fitted with a large container. The carrier went on to be one of the founding members of the oneworld® alliance, which serves more than 1,000 destinations across 150 countries with 14,000+ flights yearly.
Today, American Airlines Cargo is a powerhouse in the air freight industry, with hubs in New York, Chicago, Charlotte, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Dallas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Miami. The airline carrier ships over two billion pounds of goods annually to 350 destinations in 50 countries.
