Delta Cargo will be the preferred choice for our customers’ global shipping needs. We invest in people and processes that ensure the reliable movement of freight and information. Our customer commitment is to proactively provide simple and creative solutions that drive our mutual profitability.
In 1945, Delta Air Lines, Inc. was the first airline to ship cargo of 160,000 tomato plants, and we haven’t stopped making shipping firsts since. Today, we ship cargo to more cities and countries than any other airline and are continuing to add more destinations every month.
Delta has been on a fast track to rebuild and restructure our cargo division around the things the customer cares about: the accurate and reliable movement of both freight and information. We are investing in our people, with a new executive leadership team with a proven track record of performance. We are reorganizing our sales organization in Europe around Delta personnel, and have recruited new cargo operations talent with a strong process track record.
We are investing in our processes with the re-engineering of the Atlanta Gateway. We’re implementing new scanning features to bring you up-to-date information concerning your shipments and adding new product offerings, such as Cool Chain. We will bring a total transparency into the way we handle our business.
We are investing in our facilities with the overhaul of the Atlanta Gateway. We have adopted Envirotainers™ and are building a fully integrated perishables center. We are also pursuing a new, state-of-the-art facility in New York's JFK airport.
We continue to look for ways to be the best in the industry. We want to ensure that Delta Cargo doesn't just serve the customers' needs, it serves them well.
"Delta's ability to operate service to more worldwide destinations than any other airline has created a strong platform from which to build Delta Cargo into one of the world's most extensive airline freight operations". Neel Shah, Vice President-Delta Cargo
