Aircargo Communities Inc, also known as Air Cargo Inc, is the largest network of Air Freight Cartage agents and trucking companies providing services to the airline and freight forwarding community in North America. This network was established in 1941 during World War II by major US carriers including United, American, TWA, and Eastern to accommodate their ground transportation needs. After the deregulation of the industry in the early 1980s, the ACI model became a standard in the Freight Forwarding industry. The ACI Air freight Directory is used by thousands of Freight Forwarders and Airlines in Northern America and is referred to as the “bible” of the domestic air freight.
Air Cargo Inc publishes the Air Freight Directory, also known as the ACI Guide.
Air cargo is any property carried or to be carried in an aircraft. Air cargo comprises air freight, air express and airmail.
Aircraft types
Cargo can be transported by passenger, cargo or combi aircraft:
Passenger aircraft use the spare volume in the airplane's baggage hold (the "belly") that is not being used for passenger luggage - a common practice used by passenger airlines, who additionally transport cargo on scheduled passenger flights. - this practice is known as Belly Cargo. Cargo can also be transported in the passenger cabin as hand-carry by an “on-board courier”.
Cargo aircraft are dedicated for the job - they carry freight on the main deck and in the belly by means of nose-loading or side loading.
Combi aircraft carries cargo on the main deck behind the passengers’ area with side loading and in the belly.
History
Early years
The first cargo flight took place on the 7 November 1910 in the USA, between Dayton and Columbus, Ohio. Philip Orin Parmelee piloted a Wright Model B aeroplane 65 miles (105km) carrying a package of 200 pounds of silk for the opening of a store. Newspaper clippings quoted the Wright brothers as stating he covered the distance in 66 minutes, but the flight was officially recorded at 57 minutes, a world speed record at the time. It was the first “cargo only” flight solely for the transport of goods; the first flight commissioned by a client, and the first example of multimodal air transport, since the pieces of silk were transported by car from Columbus aerodrome to the store.
H.Essers Air Cargo Logistics provides first-class air-cargo road transport for full loads and partial loads throughout Europe, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Have you wondered how air cargo works in global shipping?
Today we present an intro to how your cargo is carried by air. Depending on the type of cargo, these are put into dedicated cargo planes for transport. There are 3 ways to transport cargo by air.
Passenger flight - Small amounts of cargo are transported this way. They are loaded into a compartment under the passenger compartment.
Cargo planes - These are dedicated planes for transporting cargo. Large shipping companies usually own a few of them.
Supercargo planes - These are giant cargo planes that are used to transport massive stuff, like a passenger airplane, inside it.
The largest known super cargo plane is the Antonov AN-225 Mriya with a capacity of 250 tonnes. It was created in 1985 in Ukraine and was operational until it was destroyed by Russians in late February 2022.
