Flight Programs
ATI has a proven track record of transporting all types of cargo, worldwide. With a team of aircraft, charter experts and cargo experts who provide all necessary support and services, we are experienced in managing any request with respect to diplomatic clearances, heavyweight or delicate cargo, hazardous materials and even remote airport locations that present logistics challenges.
Current ATI cargo services fall into four major categories:
Freight forwarder/charter broker "ad hoc" one-time or multiple charters;
Government and military contracts;
Long-term contract services to other airlines and logistics organizations;
Racehorse and other high value animal transportation.
Most people consider charters as one-time, or "ad hoc" flights. In reality, most of ATI's flights generate from multiple flight contracts - generally called long-term or "track" programs. Track programs are scheduled services, tailored to client specifications, which provide the opportunity to closely align your distribution and transportation needs with the schedule and frequency of your choosing.
Another viable option for many businesses is an ACMI wet lease. Instead of the typical turnkey operation in which ATI provides and manages all elements of the charter, under an ACMI wet lease, ATI provides the aircraft, crew, maintenance and aircraft liability insurance. Cargo handling, fuel procurement and other like services are provided by the client to the degree that they have the capability or desire to do so.
ATI's flexibility in flight program options enables us to be a premier provider of track, ad hoc or ACMI wet lease programs within the charter airline industry.

Combi Services
ATI combination passenger/cargo "combi" aircraft are specially designed to accommodate not only important cargo, but also the most valuable payload of all - passengers.
With the only DC-8-62/72 "combi" fleet in the world, ATI has the ability to simultaneously transport 32 passengers and 10 pallet positions of freight on the main deck, but in distinctly separate areas of the aircraft. There is also below-deck capacity for baggage or additional cargo. These aircraft are truly exceptional because they are the only DC-8's in the world that are FAA approved to operate in this configuration.
The passenger area has a similar design to that of standard passenger aircraft. Our DC-8-62/72's are complete with overhead storage, lavatories and galleys capable of serving hot or cold meals with beverages ranging from a light snack to a multi-course meal. The 10 position cargo compartment is in a fully operational standard upper deck configuration, with a ball mat and roller system to enable FAA approved pallets to be loaded through the large upper deck main cargo door.
In addition to having a uniquely functional design, ATI's "combi" aircraft meet U.S. FAA Stage Three/ICAO Chapter Three noise regulations worldwide. The long range full capacity of ATI's DC-8 "combi" aircraft allows us to operate over 4,000 miles non-stop, even with a full load of passengers, baggage and cargo.
ATI not only offers the best in convenience and flexibility, but passenger service as well. ATI's friendly and service-oriented flight attendants are dedicated to making your flight the best it can be. ATI offers a low passenger to flight attendant ratio, in-flight movie options, hot or cold meals and individual, personalized service on every flight.

Cargo Services
Utilizing ATI's large fleet of DC-8-73F/71F cargo aircraft, our experienced personnel and efficient processes will deliver your cargo to its destination on schedule, meeting all deadlines and requirements. The "stretch" DC-8 freighters have been reengined with extremely quiet and fuel-efficient CFM-56 jet engines. The result is a fleet of aircraft that not only complies with all existing U.S. FAA Stage 3/ICAO Chapter 3 noise requirements, but also exceeds them by a wide margin.
ATI's DC-8-73F/71F freighters are configured with a full roller cargo handling system on the upper deck, with the capability to load 18 standard 125" X 88" cargo pallets or containers. The aircraft can also be rapidly reconfigured to accommodate 108" X 88" commercial cargo pallets or 463L military pallets.
Regardless of the type of cargo, ATI is equipped to deliver to any latitude and longitude across the globe, and we do it around the clock.
