American Airlines Cargo - Air Freight, Cargo Shipping, and Air Shipping Services

Yesterday's FAA nationwide ground stop led to significant cancellations and delays across our operation. Our team worked diligently through the night to restore our schedule and reposition aircraft, crews and cargo to protect today's operation.

While we are taking every step to limit the impact on our customers and team members, the lingering effects of this major disruption to the national airspace system will continue today, including additional delays and cancellations. We have taken a number of steps to support our recovery, including providing additional resources for team members reporting to work.

For shipments affected by the disruption, our Cargo Customer Service and Sales teams are available to help rebook or make other arrangements.

To our customers: We're sorry for the impact the FAA's nationwide ground stop has had on your shipments. Our entire team is focused on getting your cargo moving. Thank you for the patience and grace you've shown our frontline team members as they do everything they can to assist you.

And to our team: Thank you for your incredible professionalism and resilience, and for the extraordinary care you continue to show our customers and each other.

The following restrictions remain in effect through Saturday, November 14, 2026.

We intend to resume normal cargo operations, including acceptance of HUM and AVI shipments, on Sunday, November 15, 2026.
