American Airlines Cargo, US Airways Cargo officially combine under single air waybill

American Airlines (AAL) and US Airways have reached a significant milestone in their merger as the Cargo divisions combine under a single air waybill. The new entity brings in more than $800m each year and moves more than one billion pounds of freight and mail annually. The Cargo teams have successfully combined 154 facilities and harmonized products since December 2013, making it the first operations division at the airline to be fully integrated. “Today is the culmination of a lot of hard work by our Cargo employees,” said Jim Butler, president of American Airlines Cargo. “We have brought together the expertise and solutions that customers have come to rely on and the teams that are focused on restoring American Airlines as the greatest airline in the world.”
