American Airlines Cargo sets three new records
2018 was exceptional for the American Airlines Cargo team, with the division setting three all-time records. The airline moved unprecedented volumes of freight and mail across its system, with volume for the year ending at a historic 2 billion pounds (907,000 tons).
With airfreight tonnage at an all-time high, the airline's flown as booked (FAB) numbers reached a new peak. The trend continued to the end of the year, setting all-time FAB records in six out of the last seven months. New routes, strategic capacity planning and team work led to the best annual performance numbers the airline ever registered.
The business also generated more than USD 1 billion (EUR 880 million) in revenue for the first time in its history. (ah)
