If you’re new to American Airlines Cargo, and have received your Precise Account Locator (PAL) number, please complete the Company Agreement form and designate a "Super Administrator", the person at your company who will be responsible for:

  • Creating and maintaining User IDs and access levels
  • Determining which PAL Account numbers each user will have access to when making bookings or tracking shipments
  • Assigning billing accounts, when applicable, for users to view, approve and/or pay invoices online

The sensitive nature of information available on our website requires a certain level of security be maintained, even within your own company. So we ask that a person of authority (e.g. Manager, Owner, President, etc.) submit the request.

Once we've verified access, usually within a day or two of receiving the Company Agreement, we'll send login information and additional instructions to the Super Administrator
