ABX Air (formerly Airborne Express) is a cargo airline headquartered at Airborne Airpark near the City of Wilmington, OH. ABX operates scheduled, ad hoc charter and ACMI freight services Including overnight express small-package services and freight in the USA, Canada and Puerto Rico. ABX Air's main customer is DHL, and the vast majority of the freight it carries is for that company. Most of ABX Air's aircraft are painted with DHL's yellow and red livery. ABX also does cargo flights on behalf of Air Jamaica between Miami and the two Jamaican cities of Montego Bay (Donald Sangster International Airport) and Kingston (Norman Manley International Airport).
The airline was established in 1980 when Airborne Freight acquired Midwest Air Charter. It started operations on 17 April 1980. Airborne Express was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Airborne Freight of Seattle. ABX became a public company in August 2003 as part of the merger of DHL and Airborne, in which DHL kept Airborne's ground operations and spun off its air operations as ABX. In November 2007 ABX entered into an agreement to acquire Cargo Holdings International, the parent company of Air Transport International (ATI) and Capital Cargo International Airlines for a cost of $350 million. In November 2008, DHL announced the plan to terminate its business relationship with ABX because it was exiting the United States domestic market. Previous plans had been to keep U.S. operations by contracting them out to United Parcel Service.
