United Cargo

About United Cargo

United Cargo is the air freight business of United Airlines. It carries freight in the belly of United's mainline passenger fleet across the airline's global network, and the website lets customers register, book shipments, track up to ten air waybills at a time, download flight and truck route schedules and find cargo facility addresses, hours and product capabilities. The airline has stated a goal of becoming net-zero by 2050 by cutting its greenhouse gas emissions 100 percent, without relying on traditional carbon offsets, and promotes sustainable aviation fuel.

  • EXP: expedited service for priority shipments, with access to high-demand flights, higher boarding priority than general freight and no weight restrictions
