DELIVERING PERFORMANCESince 1980

Global business is always fast–paced,

many times complicated and very often

impersonal. But there is one company

in the freight logistics industry that

thoughtfully combines the best of

modern technology and the traditional

values of service, commitment and

quality. We are Airways Freight.

Founded in 1980, Airways has quietly

grown to be one of the most respected

names in transportation. We steadily

expanded our services, our staff and

our global reach every single year since

then—not with flashy promotions or

special one-off discount rates but by

providing our clients reliable, cost

effective cargo solutions time after time.

Airways is a privately held corporation

that began as a local pick-up and

delivery company. Our initial goal was

to develop a more reliable process

within the shipping community.

Through the years we have adapted

those processes to the ever changing

needs and concerns of our customers

and continue to prove that putting their

needs first is the single most important

key to success and longevity.

A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE

Page 3: AFC Corporate Brochure_Optimized

We have built our reputation on time-critical

delivery of every type and size of product known

to man, for companies large and small around the

globe. By whatever means is necessary—using

charter aircraft, hot shot trucks, next flight out;

Airways is well known for its responsive, can-do

attitude.

Whether you need same day, overnight, two

day or time-definite deferred delivery

services, we’ll give you real world

options and help you

make the choice that best

suits your specific requirements. Our resources

are endless—no shipment too small or large, no

freight beyond our capability. And we challenge

you to find a company with a better track record

for safe on-time delivery, especially in the most

demanding situations.

There is no down time in today ’s global economy.

That ’s why we offer you around the clock

availability to our staff, providing up-to-the-

minute status of your shipment. From pick up

to delivery, no one keeps you better informed

than Airways—regardless of your freight ’s origin,

destination or schedule. Utilizing state of the

art tracking systems via satellite, Electronic

Data Interchange (EDI), Internet, and traditional

telecommunications technologies, we constantly

monitor your freight through all phases of the

shipping process—we’re never out of touch with

your vital cargo.

DELIVERING PERFORMANCE

You’ll not find a group of more dedicated, more

enthusiastic or more seasoned freight professionals

anywhere. The group tenure at Airways is truly

remarkable, easily out-distancing the competition.

How do we do it?

Our people are empowered to be leaders, to be

innovative; to do whatever it takes to find a solution

to your shipping issues. They embrace the challenge

of getting your valuable cargo delivered on time,

every time.

At Airways, we act as an extension of your shipping

department—a personal logistics partner you can

count on in the most critical situations. And with

one centralized, integrated operations facility, we

are uniquely qualified to communicate

accurate, timely information to you 24

hours a day, 365 days a year.

Airways’

operations

managers

undergo

exhaustive training in handling the most critical

shipping situations, including dangerous goods

of all k inds. Safety is of paramount importance

to Airways. That ’s why Transportation Security

Administration ( TSA), International Air Transport

Association (IATA) and Department of Transportation

(DOT ) regulations and protocols are placed highest

in priority.

Handling air freight worldwide is where we

began, and our expertise is undeniable—

charters, specially configured aircraft,

oversized cargo planes, next commercial

fl ight out, counter-to-counter, special

air couriers—you name it. But there is

so much more to Airways today than our

name implies.

We ship products every day that require

ground service of all types, and in every

mode of transport vehicle available—flat

beds, FTL/LTL standard trailers, panel vans,

refrigerated, special escorts, single or team

drivers. We will always find the most cost

effective and timely way to safely

transport your goods.

Advanced technology, dedicated

operational expertise, the strength and

stability of our company’s structure—all

contribute to a successful formula for

enhancing your shipping logistics. The

final ingredient is our close network of

skilled freight associates, hundreds of

which are located around the world.

Each is as dedicated to respond to your

needs, and communicate with the same

sense of urgency, as is our corporate

staff. They work in harmony with Airways’

central operations to supervise your

shipments, ensure quality control, and

respond to your unique needs on a timely

and professional basis.

Demand by our domestic client base to extend

Airways’ commitment globally has created
