Robust Express Shipping and Delivery Network
When you ship with Hangar A, your products move through a nationwide first, middle, and last-mile delivery network built through partnerships with leading airlines and ground carriers.
Each partner integrates directly with Hangar A’s proprietary Express Cargo Management System (eCMS). This integration gives you a single automated platform to coordinate shipments across the network while maintaining full visibility from dock to door.
As your shipments move through the network, air and ground partners work together seamlessly. This structure gives your business the reach and flexibility needed to handle a wide range of logistics demands while maintaining reliable express delivery across multiple industries.
Cost-Effective Utilization of Passenger Air Cargo Space
Hangar A takes advantage of cargo space that already exists on passenger aircraft flying across North America.
Through partnerships with airlines including United Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and Air Canada, your shipments move using cargo capacity that would otherwise go unused. Collectively, these airlines operate more than 20,000 commercial flights every day, creating a vast network your shipments can move through quickly and efficiently.
Because passenger airlines already operate these flights, their core costs such as staffing, fuel, and aircraft operations are largely supported by passenger fares. That means your shipments benefit from an existing transportation network rather than funding an entirely separate fleet.
This model allows you to offer customers reliable next-day and 2-day delivery at rates that remain competitive with traditional ground shipping.
Ground Carrier Excellence
Hangar A’s delivery network is built on strong partnerships with professional ground carriers who support both the first mile and the final mile of your shipment journey.
First Mile: Secure Pickup and Airport Transfer
Your shipment begins with experienced carriers who transport goods from your facility to the airport using panel trucks, lift-gate trucks, and 18-wheel trailers designed to handle shipments of many sizes. Drivers handling first-mile movements are TSA-certified, ensuring your freight enters the air network in full compliance with airport security requirements.
Many shipments move as palletized freight that consolidates hundreds of small parcels before entering Hangar A’s air network. This approach allows your business to efficiently move high volumes of small parcels while still supporting big and bulky shipments that traditional parcel networks often struggle to handle.
Last Mile: Reliable Dock-to-Door Delivery
Once your shipment arrives at the destination airport, Hangar A’s ground carrier partners manage the final mile to the customer. Using professional fleets of panel trucks and lift-gate vehicles, they deliver everything from small eCommerce packages to big and bulky goods.
While TSA certification is not required for last-mile delivery, Hangar A partners maintain strict professional standards to ensure each delivery is handled safely, on time, and in a way that reflects positively on your brand.
The goal is simple: your shipment moves smoothly from pickup to final delivery with the reliability and service your customers expect.
Enhanced Security with Hangar A’s Air Transport Network
Moving shipments through the Hangar A air transport network adds an additional layer of protection for high-value cargo.
Over-the-road freight can sometimes be vulnerable to theft when trucks leave warehouses and travel long distances on public highways. By shifting the middle mile of transportation to commercial airline networks, your shipments move through airport environments designed with strong security controls.
Airports operate with extensive surveillance systems, controlled access points, and dedicated security personnel. This infrastructure significantly reduces the risk of theft while shipments move through the network.
For your business, this means valuable cargo travels through a more secure transportation environment, helping protect both your inventory and your customer commitments.
