After Airborne Freight bought the operation in 1980 and rebranded it as Airborne Express, the airline was renamed ABX Air in 1989.

About ABX Air
ABX Air is an American all-cargo airline based at Wilmington Air Park in Clinton County, Ohio. Its roots trace to Midwest Air Charter, formed in 1970 to fly cancelled checks for banks and the Federal Reserve. After Airborne Freight bought the operation in 1980 and rebranded it as Airborne Express, the airline was renamed ABX Air in 1989. It became a public company in 2003 when Airborne's ground network was sold to DHL, leaving ABX Air to fly the aircraft under contract.
In December 2007 ABX Air was reorganized under Air Transport Services Group, now its corporate parent and one of the world's largest operators and lessors of converted Boeing 767 freighters. ABX Air holds an FAA Part 121 certificate and provides ACMI and CMI services, meaning it supplies aircraft, crews, maintenance and insurance while customers control the routing and commercial side. It does not sell cargo capacity directly to shippers, instead flying dedicated freighters on behalf of large logistics and e-commerce customers.
The airline's fleet is built entirely around the Boeing 767, split between 767-200 and 767-300 converted freighters, with around 33 aircraft in service as of 2025. Its two anchor customers are DHL, historically its largest, and Amazon Air, for which ATSG expanded flying with additional 767-300 freighters through agreements running toward the end of the decade. ABX Air operates from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG), its home base at Wilmington (ILN), and Miami (MIA), supporting express and e-commerce networks.

Why isn't my ABX Air air cargo updating?
ABX Air tracking reflects what the carrier and flight feeds have reported, so there is often a lag between a real-world move and the update. Panvaya refreshes on a regular cycle; a shipment that looks stuck usually just means the next milestone (such as uplift or arrival) hasn't been filed yet.
How accurate is the ETA for ABX Air shipments?
Panvaya combines ABX Air's schedule with live flight position and historical performance to predict arrival, and refines the ETA as the journey progresses and conditions change. It is a continuously updated estimate, not a guarantee.
