American Cargo The One And Only
President
of American Airlines Cargo Jim Butler is in the news, declaring:
“On Monday, October 20, 2014,
AA becomes one cargo organization, transitioning to a single air waybill
using the American Airlines prefix 001.
“Changeover will also include
all existing American Airlines and US Airways booking channels remaining
open and in business so that our customer contact centers and aacargo.com
will allow booking shipments to 001 air waybills across both networks
for flights on October 20th and beyond.
“Our customers originating
shipments between now and October 19th should continue to use US Airways
(037) and American Airlines (001) air waybills when booking, tendering,
and recovering shipments with each respective airline.”
Beyond
Meeting Expectations
“The combination of our networks
is only the beginning of many exciting changes built around the needs
of our customers.
“With initiatives like e-freight,
a new state-of-the-art pharmaceutical facility in Philadelphia, and
70 new wide body and hundreds of narrow body aircraft on the way, we
are modernizing the cargo business with our partners in mind.
“Our most important goal is
to ensure a smooth experience all around,” Jim Butler insists.
What Nine
Months Can Bring
“Nine months ago, the merger
between American Airlines and US Airways became official,” Jim
Butler said.
“Since then, we have dedicated
ourselves to restoring American as the greatest airline in the world.
“The cargo team has been working
hard to plan for a seamless transition and we appreciate everyone’s
patience and loyalty during this time.
“The objective of our integration
has been to bring together the expertise, solutions, and teams from
both cargo organizations into the industry’s most customer-focused
airfreight partner,” Jim Butler said.
