  • Ameriflight is an American cargo airline based in Burbank, California, USA. It is the largest United States FAA Part 135 cargo carrier, operating scheduled and contract cargo services to destinations in 30 US states, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Ameriflight serves major financial institutions, freight forwarders, laboratories and overnight couriers in the USA and provides feeder services for overnight express carriers nationwide and internationally. The majority of Ameriflight's flying consists of "air feeder" service for major package express integrators such as UPS, FedEx, and DHL. On schedules set by the customers, cargo is received in the early morning from large jet freighters at hub airports and distributed by Ameriflight airplanes to smaller communities whose traffic (or airports) wouldn't support the big airplanes. In the evening, the Ameriflight aircraft fly inbound to the hubs with cargo to be transferred to the big jet freighters, which carry it onward to the integrators' distribution centers for sorting and redistribution to the ultimate destinations. Although demand is decreasing as use of digital imaging and electronic data transfer increases, the company also transports high priority intercity financial documents. Pharmaceuticals, film for development, medical laboratory samples, and other miscellaneous cargo are also carried. The Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) base is unique to Ameriflight as a hub for the company's time-critical radioactive medical raw materials business, which transports radioactive "generator" materials between points of manufacture and cities where it is used to produce materials used in diagnostics and cancer therapy. In addition to "scheduled" flying (with contract schedules set by customers) all Ameriflight bases can respond to unscheduled "special" flights to destinations in Alaska, Canada, throughout the conterminous U.S. , Mexico, the Caribbean, and into South America. In addition, the company conducts on-demand passenger charter operations with a King Air 200. As of mid-2009, company aircraft make approximately 2,000 departures per week and fly nearly 100,000 hours per year.
