 Service is the name of the gameAnnouncing an all-new customized cargo service designed to meet the needs of the domestic shipper. This year will see considerable corporate emphasis being placed upon our domestic services.
To meet the thrust of additional competition on transcon routes, new aircraft, additional flight frequency and greater wide-body capacity are provided in the transcon flight schedules. Consequently this provides a significant space opportunity for cargo.
The net contribution of cargo (freight and mail) to the bottom line continues to be vital in 1981 and will become increasingly more important in future years.
The ‘Team Cargo' theme emphasizes that service is the name of the game. Customer service is the responsibility of us all, not just the cargo department.
