ABX AIR UNVEILS THROWBACK LIVERY ABX Air Unveils Throwback Livery Employee Portal Corporate Store ATSG ABX AIR UNVEILS THROWBACK LIVERY ABX Air Unveils Throwback Livery ABX Air Highlights Airborne Express Heritage to Celebrate 40th Anniversary WILMINGTON, OH – September 30, 2020 – ABX Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of Air Transport Services Group, unveiled a throwback livery on one of its Boeing 767-200 aircraft to celebrate its 40th anniversary year. The livery features the retro Airborne Express logo and tail colors. The new livery is on aircraft tail N768AX, one of the earliest Boeing 767s acquired by ABX Air. The aircraft was converted to a freighter and given the original Airborne Express livery in 1998. ABX Air has operated the aircraft for over 31,200 flight hours and over 12,500 landing cycles during its years of service. The livery took four days to install. On September 30, 2020, the aircraft made a special stop at the Wilmington Air Park to be the focal point of a celebration for the company’s 40th Anniversary before returning to revenue service in the ABX Air network. Employees were given a commemorative coin and cookies with an image of the Boeing 767 freighter. “ABX Air is the culmination of 40 years of airline history that grew under the Airborne Express livery,” noted David Soaper, president of ABX Air. “We wanted to honor the customers and employees who were a part of our history, and we couldn’t think of a better way than the throwback livery.” From its inception in 1946, Airborne Express served the shipping needs of business customers around the globe, growing to become one of the largest express delivery companies in the world. Its dedicated airline, ABX Air, was formed in 1980 to operate the company’s aircraft and sorting centers. When Airborne’s ground operations were acquired by DHL in 2003, ABX Air became an independent public company.​ About ABX Air ABX Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of Air Transport Services Group, Inc., is an FAR Part 121 cargo airline offering a range of flexible operating solutions that include ACMI and CMI services via dedicated aircraft to customers in the e-commerce and express delivery markets, as well as to the U.S. government.

    Amazon Air’s Summer Surge Strategic Shifts for a Retailing Giant Chaddick Policy Brief by Joseph P. Schwieterman, Jacob Walls and Borja González Morgado September 10, 2020 Our analysis of Amazon Air’s summer operations indicates that the carrier… Added nine planes from May – July, the most it has added over a three-month span in its history Has expanded flight activity 30%+ since April through fleet expansion and improved utilization Adheres to a point-to-point strategy, deemphasizing major huBs even more than last spring Significantly changed service patterns in the Northeast and Florida, creating several mini-hubs Continues to deemphasize international flying while adding lift to Hawaii and Puerto Rico Amazon Air expanded rapidly during summer 2020, a period otherwise marked by sharp year-over-year declines in air-cargo traffic.1 This fully owned subsidiary of retailing giant Amazon made notable moves affecting its strategic trajectory.2 This brief offers an overview of Amazon Air’s evolving orientation between May and late August 2020. The document draws upon publicly available data from a variety of informational sources. Joseph Schwieterman, Ph.D. ñ Data on 1,400 takeoffs and landings of Amazon Air planes from flightaware.com and flightradar24 in April and September 2020. ñ Information on fleet registration from various published sources, including Planespotters.com. ñ Geographic analysis of the proximity of Amazon Air airports to its 340 fulfillment centers. Jacob Walls The results build upon on our May 2020 Brief, showing the dynamic nature of the carrier’s schedules, its differences from air-cargo integrators such as FedEx, its heavy emphasis on cargo-oriented airports with little passenger traffic, and why we believe its fleet could grow to 200 planes by 2028.
