American Airlines Cargo

American Airlines Cargo is the air cargo business of American Airlines in the United States. It moves freight, parcels, pets and special shipments on American Airlines flights and connecting truck routes.

Freight service is its core offer. It covers express and general freight, such as textiles and machinery. Customers choose between ExpediteFS for express service and ConfirmedFS for general service. Priority Parcel Service, called PPS, takes shipments under 100 pounds. These parcels get next-flight service and the highest boarding priority.

The company has products for sensitive cargo. ExpediteTC offers active and passive temperature control for medicines and vaccines. Life sciences and healthcare shippers can also use PPS and Critical PPS for sensitive items. Critical cargo gets extra attention from start to finish. MEDEVAC covers emergency medical materials and life-saving organs, which go out on the next flight.

Other products cover perishables such as seafood, fruit and flowers, high value goods, dangerous goods and human remains. For pets and animals, the company runs American PetEmbark. It says it has more than 65 years of experience moving animals. Pet owners do not need a cargo account.

The company says it has renewed its fleet with hundreds of new aircraft. Shippers can use online tools to check door clearance, size limits and aircraft and container compatibility. They can book, track and pay online, download flight and truck schedules and find cargo facilities. Recent promotions mention direct connections from Dallas Fort Worth and direct service from Dublin to the United States.

American Airlines is a member of oneworld. The cargo site also gives guidance on packing, reservations, security, customs, electronic air waybills and claims.
