American Airlines (AA) Cargo provides a safe and reliable service to more than 240 cities in 40 countries across the globe, ideal for transporting valuable pharmaceutical equipment and supplies.
The company traces its beginnings back to an association of air transport companies which merged to become American Airways – the direct predecessor of American Airlines. In fact, the first cargo flown by AA’s predecessor was guided from Chicago, Illinois to St. Louis, Missouri by none other than legendary aviator Charles Lindbergh.
AA Cargo is a company with rich history and is proud of being the first ever scheduled air cargo service in the world. However, that is only one of the company’s achievements, with AA boasting plenty more industry-firsts. AA was also the first company to offer a cargo tariff which was based on density, volume, value and perishability, as well as being the first to operate dedicated air freight terminals.
American has always been staffed by a bold and visionary band of aviation pioneers who flew a staggering array of aircraft, ranging from World War I surplus to the larger, cutting-edge aircraft of the day. Over the years, American Airlines has provided leadership to the air freight industry with industry with a variety of innovations, some of which are particularly relevant to the pharmaceutical sector.
Temperature control is key when dealing with pharmaceutical products. Transporting biotech products, vaccines and sensitive pharmaceutical material requires careful handling. AA Cargo was the industry’s first to use ‘igloo’ cargo containers and refrigerated cargo containers, keeping samples cool and in perfect condition.
Other industry firsts AA Cargo is proud of include:
Currently, AA Cargo provides daily scheduled cargo lift to over 240 cities in 40 countries across the globe. Our customers include some of the largest shippers in the world, including the United States Postal Service.
From those first forays into airmail, to today’s heightened security and global scheduling requirements, one thing has remained unchanged – AA Cargo’s spirit of innovation to find a better way still prevails. This commitment to excellence has earned AA Cargo an unrivaled niche within the air cargo industry as a leader, partner and tireless innovator.
