Business Travel Coalition: Why Are Delta, American and United So Intent on a Policy Change That Would Decimate the World-Leading U.S. All-Cargo Industry?

U.S. all-cargo airlines such as FedEx, UPS and Atlas Air are the envy of the global air cargo industry. Through vision, ingenuity and sweat they have built unrivaled global networks, which literally have changed the way the world works. In addition to employing hundreds of thousands of workers – several times more than Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and United Airlines (Big Three) employ combined – they are indispensable to moving U.S. export products around the globe and supporting countless U.S. jobs that depend on them.
