UPS
UPS Airlines is an American cargo airline owned by United Parcel
Service Inc. (NYSE: UPS). The company is headquartered in
Louisville, Kentucky. Its international all-points air hub, Worldport,
is based at Louisville International Airport. The pilots are
represented by the Independent Pilots Association.

History : Early years

The origin of transporting packages by air for UPS (then United
Parcel Service) dates to 1929; much like the U.S Postal Service,
UPS packages were transported as baggage on commercial airline
flights. Many packages were shipped by the Ford Trimotors of
United Airlines. After Black Tuesday and the beginning of the Great
Depression, the air service would be discontinued by the end of
1931. However, the air service would lead to the expansion beyond
the West Coast; in 1930, the company moved operations from
Oakland to New York City and established operations in other
regions across the country as well.

History : 19751976
1975
In 1975, UPS started its first international operations as it moved into
Canada.

1976
it started a service into Germany.
As UPS had become a truly international company the need for its own fleet
of aircraft was becoming more clearly apparent rather than relying on
commercial flights.

History : 1978-1988
1978
In 1978 the Airline Deregulation Act gave UPS a significant opportunity: the company could now
establish its own airline and flying from city to city would require far fewer legislative hurdles
as the federal government now encouraged competition between airlines.

1980-1988
In 1980 UPS opened its first major hub, located in Louisville, Kentucky.
The location was chosen largely because it is no more than three hours flying distance (by jet)
from the majority of the continental United States.
In addition, Louisville has relatively mild weather and is at the westernmost point of the Eastern
time zone.
Also in the early 1980s the company began acquiring a fleet of jet aircraft recently retired from
commercial aircraft duty comprising Douglas DC-8s, Boeing 727-100s and Boeing 747-100s.

History : 1988-1995
1988
In 1988, UPS Airlines was founded; at the time of its founding, UPS had a
route network serving 41 countries connecting the United States to Asia and
Europe.
Coinciding with the launch of its airline, UPS expanded and modernized its
jet fleet with a major aircraft purchase.
In place of converted passenger aircraft, UPS purchased dedicated freighter
variants of the Boeing 757 and Boeing 767, becoming the launch customer
of both types.

History : 1990-2000
In the 1990s, the airline began to expand its network beyond the
Louisville hub with facilities in Rockford, Illinois (Chicago);
Philadelphia; Dallas/Fort Worth; Columbia, South Carolina; and
Ontario, California (Los Angeles).

History : 2000-2001
During the 2000s (decade), the makeup of the UPS Airlines fleet
saw extensive change.
2000
In 2000, the first Airbus A300 freighters entered service.
Marking the entry of the first non-Boeing/Douglas aircraft to the fleet, the
airline ordered 90 of the freighters.

2001
In 2001, after disappointing results, UPS withdrew its 727 quick-change
freighters from charter service.
The same year, UPS began its first flights to China, six days a week.

History : 2002-2010
2002
In September 2002, UPS completed its five-year expansion of its international
all-points air hub called Worldport in Louisville.

2003
As part of the company rebranding from United Parcel Service to UPS in early
2003, the airline redesigned its aircraft livery, featuring the redesigned
company "shield" logo on the vertical stabilizer.

2006 and 2010

In 2006 and 2010, UPS had completed further expansions of Worldport, bringing
the facility to 5.2 million square feet, with a perimeter of 7.2 miles.

History : 2010-2014
2010-2014
On February 8, 2010 UPS announced the plans to furlough at least 300 pilots
in 2010 and 2011, cancelling the agreement reached in 2009 between UPS
and the Independent Pilots Association.
The remaining pilots not furloughed demonstrated unprecedented unity by
not flying overtime while colleagues were laid off. UPS decided to reduce
the furlough to 109 pilots.
The final pilot furloughed was in August, 2010. UPS decided to recall pilots
back to work in December, 2011.
The furlough officially ended in May, 2014 when the first pilot furloughed
returned to work.
