ABX Air

ABX Air, Inc. is an American cargo airline headquartered at Wilmington Air Park near Wilmington, Ohio. ABX Air operates scheduled, ad hoc charter and ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance) freight services. It also provides flight support services and training. ABX Air is owned by Air Transport Services Group.

The airline was incorporated as Midwest Air Charter (MAC) in 1970. MAC was originally best known for flying cancelled checks for banks, including, starting in 1972, the United States Federal Reserve Bank. Airborne Freight Corporation (ABF) started to charter MAC aircraft in 1976. In 1978, MAC took control of the airport at Wilmington, Ohio. In 1980, ABF bought MAC and its name to Airborne Express as part of transitioning to becoming an integrated package delivery service in competition with Federal Express, using Wilmington as its hub. In 1985, ABF adopted "Airborne Express" as its trade name and in 1989 changed the name of the airline to ABX Air to eliminate confusion with the parent's trade name. In the 1990s, ABX Air was one of the top 10 all-cargo airlines in the world by ton-miles carried. In 2003, DHL bought ABF, then named simply Airborne, spinning off ABX Air because, as a foreign-owned company, DHL could not own a US carrier.

ABX Air's main customer is DHL, and the majority of the freight it carries is for that company. Many of ABX Air's aircraft are painted with DHL's yellow and red livery.

ABX also operated 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). One of their Boeing 767-200s routinely handled the flights, replacing the Douglas DC-8 types that flew previously. The aircraft flew with an Air Jamaica callsign of "Jamaica".
