Q:
What is AACargoPlus?
A: AACargoPlus offers full pick up and delivery for your
shipments throughout the United States. But that's not all, our web-based
technology allows you to book and track your shipments with just a few
keystrokes. As a registered user, you have access to a personalized address
book, shipment summaries and reporting options that allow you to track your
shipment history.
Q:
Why do I need a separate credit line to use AACargoPlus?
A: AACargoPlus taps into a virtual forwarding community. By
utilizing the abilities of a nationwide network of truckers, dispatchers and
airlines, AACargoPlus provides the door-to-door service you require. This
network is separate from American Airlines Cargo, therefore requiring the
establishment of a separate line of credit.
Q: Does this mean
I'll get two invoices?
A: Yes, if you utilize both AACargoPlus for door-to-door
shipments and American Airlines Cargo when shipping airport-to-airport, you
will receive two invoices. This will allow you to keep better track of the type
of shipping services you use on a frequent basis.
Q: So, will my
shipments only travel on American Airlines?
A: Once you establish your pick up and delivery parameters,
we will first look at American Airlines' wide variety of flights to suit your
service needs. However, if American Airlines is unable to provide the best
routing, AACargoPlus will draw from a full network of transportation providers,
from local trucking franchises to other domestic airlines, to ensure your
shipment receives the service you require.
Q: Is American
doing this all on their own?
A: American Airlines is able to offer the full range of
services available with AACargoPlus through a partnership with Integres Global
Logisitics, the virtual integrator.
Q: Why?
A: American Airlines Cargo realizes that transportation is
more than airport-to-airport service. Even mid-sized forwarders need a method
of getting freight to the customer's door, without a capital-intensive network.
Utilizing web-based communication and a network of service partners, American
Airlines Cargo is able to meet virtually all of your domestic shipping needs.
