AA Cargo: 50% more flowers for Valentine's Day
American Airlines Cargo is transporting hundreds of tonnes of fresh flowers this Valentine’s season, marking the first of several peaks the carrier will see throughout the year. While many companies gear up for the Valentine’s Day rush, the American Airlines Cargo team is prepared year-round for this vertical market and consistent business.
For more than 30 years, American Airlines Cargo teams in the Americas and Europe have consistently transported a wide range of fresh flowers.
Aside from Valentine’s Day, there are several other celebrations, including Emperor’s Birthday in Japan, Easter, Mother’s Day in USA and Europe, All Saints Day, US Thanksgiving and Christmas where volumes peak in multiple locations in American’s cargo network. This year out of Europe, American will fly 50% more flowers than in 2022, or more than 417 t, for the Valentine’s Day peak. (cj)
