American, US Airways Officially Combine Cargo Units

American and US Airways announced they have reached a significant milestone in their merger with the combination of their cargo divisions under a single air waybill. 

The new entity brings in more than $800 million each year and moves more than 1 billion pounds of freight and mail annually, according to a press release.

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, the carriers said.

"Becoming one cargo organization less than a year after we legally closed our merger is a tremendous achievement," said Robert Isom, chief operating officer of American Airlines. 

"Today's announcement provides great momentum in our efforts to provide our customers a seamless experience as we continue to integrate our passenger systems, route network, and loyalty programs." he added.
