While most airlines transport people, ABX Air, Inc., transports packages. Because of ABX, the West Coast is just a few short hours away from the East Coast. Packages shipped from one coast at the end of the business day arrive on the other coast in time to be delivered the next morning. Mid-continent cities receive the same quick service.

Late each weeknight, airplanes begin arriving in Wilmington, Ohio. Experienced handlers quickly unload the aircraft, sort the packages by codes, then reload them on the appropriate aircraft to be flown to their destination cities.

The airline also runs a Day Sort operation and a network of Regional Sort Hubs located strategically across the country. Shipments with both origins and destinations near these Regional Hubs need not be routed through the Wilmington Hub. Just as ABX has staffed package handling centers across the nation, it also has a nationwide system of aircraft maintenance stations and personnel who help ensure that the aircraft fleet flies safely and dependably.

Keeping an airline flying is a complicated task and requires dedication, training, experience, desire, and pride - all traits exhibited by ABX employees who help make the airline safe and successful. In many ways, the airline is self-reliant, completing a variety of functions in-house. Flight crew training, heavy aircraft maintenance, aircraft component overhaul, airport facilities and equipment maintenance are all accomplished in Wilmington.

With everyone’s effort and determination, ABX has continued to be the fastest growing airline in the business. With your help, we look forward to continued growth and prosperity as we find new and better ways to serve our customers.
