Cargo

Time-sensitive, heavyweight, oversized and hazardous - we can handle it all.  At National, the expertise of our people and the efficiency of our process ensure that your cargo arrives at the right place at the right time.

National Airlines is a FAA Part 121 certified carrier airline, fully owned by National Air Cargo, offering domestic and international freight-forwarding services and limited passenger transport services.  The fully operational fleet consists of stretch DC-8s and (pending government approval) B747-400Fs, and is also available on lease as well as ACMI.

Charter service from National is the ultimate way to get your cargo from point A to point B swiftly and safely, anywhere in the world.  National operates a 24/7 operations center from Ypsilanti, Michigan’s Willow Run Airport (YIP) with professionals exclusively at your disposal responsible for every detail, from planning to delivery.

 

Big. Heavy. Ugly.

Doesn’t matter how large, heavy or ugly your cargo shipment is, National specializes in moving the oversized and awkward.  We’ll move mountains if necessary.  On one occasion, National was called on to move a distinguished WWII battleship stateside that was no longer seaworthy.  Solution?  Hoist the ship with giant cables and cranes onto a seaworthy ship.  If the shipment won’t work in the air, National will always find an alternative solution.

Whether you are interested in booking one pallet position or nineteen on one of our DC-8s, National will treat your cargo with the utmost care.  At National, your shipment is as important and critical to us as it is to you.  Be it odd time, odd size, odd weight or odd place, we know every single shipment might mean the world to someone or be a supreme priority for a facility.

National offers airlift solutions at short notice with appropriate aircrafts in our fleet of DC-8s and (pending government approval) B747-400Fs.  Also, our strong charter relationships play a significant role in our ability to offer a highly customized approach to provide service that is impeccably matched to suit the customer’s unique individual needs.

 

Track & Trace

Flight managers in the air and on the ground are equipped to send Proof of Delivery (POD) notices by way of the satellite Global Tracking Network (GTN) within two minutes of delivery.  The freight is barcoded and scanned at the pick-up site.  From that moment on, utilizing state-of-the-art communications and technologies, National’s Customer Support Specialists are able to follow the shipment all the way through to its destination.   Worry-free, hassle-free cargo pick-up, tracking and delivery -- that’s the National Way.
