Cargo 360 was a cargo airline based in Seattle, Washington, USA. It specialised in ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) wet lease operations. Its main headquarters was Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.[1]

History

The airline started operations on 15 May 2006. It was established by H. David Greenberg, Brian J. Smith, and other entrepreneurs. The airline was owned by Oak Hill Capital Partners (86%) and David Greenberg (Chairman of the Board of Directors) (14%).[1]

On July 30, 2007 Oak Hill Capital Partners acquired Southern Air and merged the two airlines into one, giving birth to Southern Air Holdings, Inc. Consequently, Cargo 360 was absorbed into Southern Air in January 2008 and ceased operating under its own colors.

The logo and aircraft livery was designed by Chad Hill (Django Studios) while with Redorchestra Creative (now defunct) in Chicago, IL.

Destinations

Cargo 360 had an ACMI contract with Korean Air Cargo between Incheon International Airport near Seoul, South Korea and multiple destinations within the United States. As of September 2007 these included Los Angeles International Airport, Chicago O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth Int'l, and New York's JFK Int'l, all via Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
