DASH Critical & Medical, which offers real-time tracking and monitoring of any eligible shipment, is available from 10 locations nationwide, with service to 89 mainland U.S. destinations and Hawaii.

   Delta Cargo said it has launched the first fully GPS-enabled, same-day product offered by a U.S. freight carrier, dubbed DASH Critical & Medical.
   “Delta’s DASH Critical & Medical offers premium domestic service for time-sensitive, small packages such as medical commodities, legal documents, essential machinery parts and aircraft on the ground (AOG) components,” the airline said.
   DASH Critical & Medical offers real-time tracking and monitoring of any eligible shipment, and customers can ship items up until 45 minutes before the scheduled flight departure.
   The service is available for anyone shipping items under 16 ounces. In addition, shipments up to 100 pounds per piece from companies with TSA Known Shipper status can be accepted as DASH Critical & Medical.
   Overall, DASH Critical & Medical is available from 10 locations nationwide, including Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, LaGuardia (New York), Los Angeles, Memphis, Minneapolis, Rochester and Seattle, with service to 89 mainland U.S. destinations and Hawaii.
   If delivery is impacted by irregular operations, the monitoring team will contact local airports to help coordinate the export, transfer and import of all DASH Critical & Medical shipments, the airline said.
