United Cargo: Redefining domestic airfreight with speed, scale, and innovation

When it comes to domestic air cargo, businesses need a partner with the network, speed, and reliability to keep shipments moving efficiently. United Cargo delivers on all fronts.

United Cargo’s expansive network features seven major hubs, service to over 100 domestic stations, and more than 4,500 daily flights. This means that whether your cargo is coming from our West Coast hubs in Los Angeles (LAX) and San Francisco (SFO), connecting through the heartland in Chicago (ORD), Denver (DEN), and Houston (IAH), or heading to the East Coast via Newark (EWR) and Washington Dulles (IAD), every link in the chain is optimized. We pay special attention to the critical points between hubs ensuring that shipments travel smoothly and reliably from one region to the next.

Whether it’s same-day delivery, next-day service, or something in between, United Cargo provides the flexibility and efficiency businesses need to stay competitive. With unmatched frequency and capacity, our industry-leading service minimizes delays and offers cost-effective options across our diverse fleet—from widebody to narrowbody flights. United Cargo is proud to be the preferred carrier for domestic cargo, leading the movement of movement coast to coast and everywhere in between.

Customers First: A Commitment to Service

At United Cargo, the mission is simple: Put Customers First, always.

Behind the scenes, our warehouse and operations teams work around the clock to keep shipments moving efficiently.

With a focus on reliability, responsiveness, and tailored logistics solutions, United Cargo is committed to delivering the best possible service—because when customers succeed, United Cargo succeed.

Innovation That Moves Air Cargo Forward

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. In a rapidly evolving industry, United Cargo is committed to delivering cutting-edge digital solutions that make air freight faster, smarter, and more efficient. Our investment in enhanced booking platforms, automation, and API integrations is designed to provide our customers with seamless access to capacity and real-time shipment tracking.

“We’re also expanding into B2B marketplaces, ensuring customers can find and book capacity in just a few clicks. As we continue to modernize our digital infrastructure, we are focused on making shipping with United Cargo easier, more transparent, and more reliable than ever”.

But innovation doesn’t stop with digital. Sustainability is the future of air cargo, and United Cargo is leading the charge. We are actively investing in solutions to reduce our carbon footprint, and in February 2025, we took another bold step. United’s Sustainable Flight Fund has invested in Heirloom, a direct air capture (DAC) company using scalable technology to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. This game-changing investment aligns with United’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Through a combination of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), carbon capture technology, and industry-first partnerships, we are setting the standard for responsible cargo operations. Our third carbon capture investment in Heirloom marks another milestone in our journey toward a more sustainable future.

The Power of Scale: United’s Unmatched Domestic Reach

In a world where speed and reliability define success, the biggest is best—and United Cargo delivers. The expansive domestic network, customer-first approach, and commitment to innovation set us apart as the preferred choice for airfreight across the U.S. Whether it’s same-day shipping, custom logistics solutions, or sustainability-driven operations, we provide businesses with the confidence they need to keep moving forward.

From coast to coast—and everywhere in between—United Cargo is your trusted partner in airfreight.
