Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Maersk Air CargocoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ Distributor · 30 January 2026Maersk Air Cargo was operating Boeing 767-300 freighters sub-leased to Amerijet for trans-Pacific flights. The partnership represented approximately 30% of Amerijet's total flight hours. Maersk terminated the contract on Feb 28, 2026, earlier than expiration, after deciding to discontinue trans-Pacific flights in favor of more efficient Boeing 777 jets. Maersk plans to sell the three 767-300 freighters sub-leased to Amerijet, with Amazon expected to acquire the aircraft.
• U.S. Transportation Command (TRANSCOM)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 3 October 2024Amerijet is one of 30 companies awarded a $4 billion contract to provide international charter airlift services under the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program. Work expected through September 30, 2026. A separate $873 million contract for domestic air cargo and passenger services was also announced.
• Food for the PoorminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2017Corporate citizenship partnership where Amerijet supports Food for the Poor through donations. In 2017, Amerijet donations helped provide housing and sanitation for three families in Haiti affected by earthquake and hurricanes. Food for the Poor is one of the largest international relief organizations serving the Caribbean and Latin America region.

Direct peers

• Atlas Air Worldwide: One of the largest ACMI and charter all-cargo operators globally, flying 747 and 777 freighters. Amerijet's VP Technology previously led IT there, and Atlas is the closest analog in scale-up all-cargo charter plus scheduled operations for integrators and governments.
• Western Global Airlines: US-based all-cargo carrier operating 777 and 767 freighters, providing ACMI, charter, and scheduled cargo services. Directly comparable to Amerijet in business model (all-cargo freighter operations) and customer base (freight forwarders, integrators, government).
• Kalitta Air: Michigan-based all-cargo carrier operating 747 and 777 freighters serving ACMI, charter, and government customers. Comparable to Amerijet in being a privately held US all-cargo specialist serving freight forwarder, integrator, and military customers.
• Cargolux Airlines International: Luxembourg-based all-cargo airline and one of the world's largest scheduled all-cargo carriers, with strong pharma cold-chain positioning. Comparable in all-cargo business model and specialization in time-sensitive and high-value freight, though larger and trans-Atlantic focused rather than Americas-focused.
• ABX Air (Air Transport Services Group): US-based ACMI cargo specialist operating 767 freighters for integrators including Amazon's emerging air network. Closely comparable in fleet type (767 freighters), ACMI/leasing model, and integrator-customer exposure to Amerijet.
• National Airlines (National Air Cargo): US-based all-cargo and charter operator flying 747 freighters, serving government, humanitarian, and commercial charter customers. Comparable to Amerijet as a mid-sized all-cargo charter/scheduled operator with similar mix of government, humanitarian, and freight forwarder customers.

Broad incumbents

• UPS Airlines: One of the world's largest cargo airlines and a current Amerijet partner via UPS Supply Chain Solutions. Overlaps with Amerijet on Americas air freight but operates a far larger network and competes as both customer (via SCS) and counterparty.
• DHL Aviation: Global integrator and air freight forwarder with dedicated air operations in the Americas. Comparable to Amerijet on express and time-sensitive freight across the same Latin America/Caribbean geography, but operates at much larger scale and with broader product scope.
• FedEx Air (FedEx Express): Global integrator with massive owned freighter fleet and hub network across the Americas, including the Caribbean and Latin America where several Amerijet leaders previously worked. Overlaps with Amerijet on time-sensitive cargo across the same Americas geography but is far larger and vertically integrated.

Emerging players

• Challenge Group (Challenge Airlines BE): Belgium-based all-cargo carrier operating 747 freighters, with growing presence in Africa and Europe-to-Americas lanes. Comparable as a mid-sized all-cargo specialist, though its hub and network are Europe-centric versus Amerijet's Americas focus.
