American Airlines Cargo to Offer Enhanced Program for Monitoring and Tracking Cargo with OnAsset FlightSafe

American Airlines Cargo announced it will begin offering a one-time use program with FlightSafe^®, the leading GPS and sensor-based tracking device for air cargo shipments. The program, delivered in partnership with OnAsset (News - Alert) Intelligence, allows shippers, freight forwarders and couriers to work directly with American Airlines Cargo to add a tracking device to a shipment and monitor the package from point of origin to destination.

The tracking device, which monitors temperature, pressure, shock, location and vibration, can be added to U.S. domestic and international shipments on American beginning May 7. It is available for use with all of American's products-Expedite, Confirmed and PPS-and is ideal for customers who are shipping time-critical, high-value and temperature-sensitive cargo.

"This program will be a great addition to our services, giving customers real-time visibility into their shipments," said Roger Samways, Managing Director - Cargo Sales. "This visibility provides customers with on-demand knowledge of supply chain events, speeds response time and improves transit knowledge from airport-to-airport."

"We are excied to be part of American Airline Cargo's service innovations," said Adam Crossno, President and CEO of OnAsset Intelligence. "Real-time tracking and device logistics are a powerful combination packaged as a single solution."

As part of the program, American will supply the tracking device and will include all logistics services for a single fee. Customers will be able to visit a provided link to view the location, location history and all sensor data collected during transit.
