ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- National Air Cargo Group is celebrating 35 years of delivering transportation and logistics solutions worldwide, marking a journey that began in 1991 as a domestic freight forwarding company and has grown into a global organization with operations spanning more than 150 countries.
Over the past three and a half decades, National has expanded its capabilities far beyond its roots, building an integrated portfolio that includes international freight forwarding, cargo and passenger airline services, government logistics support, and humanitarian relief transportation. Today, the Group operates through National Air Cargo and National Airlines, supported by more than 1,300 employees across 15+ operational hubs worldwide.
"Reaching 35 years is a significant milestone for our organization and a reflection of the trust our customers place in us every day," said Christopher Alf, Chairman, National Air Cargo, Inc. "From our beginnings as a freight forwarder to becoming a global transportation provider, our success has been driven by the loyalty of our customers, the dedication of our employees, the strength of our partnerships, and our commitment to finding solutions for even the most complex logistics challenges."
Throughout its history, National has supported commercial, government, and humanitarian customers with tailored transportation solutions. The company has transported everything from e-commerce shipments and high-value technology equipment to oversized industrial cargo, aircraft parts, and emergency relief supplies. National's operations have played a role in supporting disaster response efforts, military missions, and critical supply chains around the world.
A key milestone in the company's evolution came with the launch of cargo airline operations, followed by the expansion of passenger airline services. Today, National Airlines operates a modern fleet that includes Boeing 747 and Boeing 777 freighters, as well as Airbus A330 passenger aircraft, enabling flexible cargo and passenger solutions across global markets.
Most recently, National completed the delivery of four Boeing 777 freighters, further strengthening its ability to meet growing transportation demands while improving operational efficiency.
While the company has grown significantly over the past 35 years, its focus remains unchanged: delivering reliable, customized solutions for customers facing complex transportation challenges.
"As we look ahead, we remain focused on investing in our people, expanding our capabilities, modernizing our fleet, and enhancing digital tools that provide greater visibility and service for our customers," said Christopher Alf, Chairman, National Air Cargo, Inc. "We are proud of what we have accomplished over the last 35 years and grateful to our customers, employees, and partners who have been part of that journey. Together, we have built a strong foundation for the future, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead."
National's 35th anniversary serves as an opportunity to recognize the customers, employees, and partners whose contributions have helped shape the organization's success and position it for continued growth in the years to come.
