Amerijet launches domestic freighter service

   Amerijet International will begin domestic services July 7 from air cargo hubs at Rickenbacker International Airport in Ohio and Reno-Tahoe International Airport in Nevada.
   As part of its U.S. growth strategy, these hubs will serve Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Newark and Atlanta with Boeing 767 freighter service. Amerijet also has a hub in Miami that is used for international service.
   “We believe this product fills the need for select services once the mainstay of companies such as Burlington Air Express, Kitty Hawk, Emery and other all cargo carriers who did not survive the economic turmoil of the last decade,” Pamela Rollins, senior vice president of business development at Amerijet, said in a statement. “Our new freighter service is ideal for shipments moving on long-haul lanes over 1,500 miles, especially those in need of time-critical and high-value, temperature controlled or hazardous material shipments.”
