Fact Sheet

Atlas Air, Inc. (Atlas) is the leading provider of ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance) freighter leasing to major airlines around the globe and operates a large fleet of all-cargo Boeing 747 freighter aircraft. Atlas is a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (AAWW), based in Purchase, N.Y.
 
ACMI Leasing
Atlas provides ACMI contracts to a number of major airlines, including Air New Zealand, Panalpina, British Airways, Emirates, Korean, LanChile, Lufthansa and Qantas.
 
Charter Services
Atlas also provides ACMI charter services, tailored to meet the individual needs of the customer. An Atlas charter includes not only aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance, but also all landing/ traffic permits, fuel, air waybill, aircraft handling and Atlas’ on-demand customer service center.
 
The Fleet
To provide these services, Atlas maintains an impressive fleet of B747 freighter aircraft, the most efficient and cost-effective aerial platform for transporting intercontinental shipments of heavy freight.
 
Quality
Through superior maintenance programs, management and commitment to quality, Atlas has an on-time performance that is unsurpassed. The Atlas fleet is fully certified to operate under conditions of very restricted visibility and is 100 percent Stage III/Chapter III compliant.
 
History
Founded in 1993 with one B747-200 contracted to China Airlines, Atlas expanded rapidly until, by the end of 2000, the Company’s fleet had grown to 36 aircraft. In 2001, AAWW was formed, and in November of that year, it acquired Polar Air Cargo Worldwide, Inc. (Polar) -- the perfect partner for Atlas, providing global, all-cargo scheduled service.
 
Management Team
The Atlas senior management team has over 100 years of airline industry experience, including:

William J. Flynn, President and Chief Executive Officer
John Dietrich, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Human Resources Officer
Jason Grant, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Michael T. Steen, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer

 
The Atlas Difference
Atlas is not only the largest air cargo outsourcer in the world, it is also the most experienced. No other company can match Atlas’s level of expertise in ACMI leasing or ACMI charters. Cost savings, time-definite delivery, reliability and commitment to quality is what makes Atlas the ACMI provider of choice for the airline industry, as well as the charter choice for many customers, most noteworthy being the U.S. Air Force’s Air Mobility Command.
