Overview
When it comes to aviation, airlines are often the first thing that comes to mind. Followed by crowded terminals, small seats, and long TSA lines. However, there is much more to both aviation and aviation investing. While not glamorous, air cargo is a profitable and growing business. Propelled by international trade, just-in-time manufacturing, and online sales, air cargo is more stable than ever. One company in particular is Atlas Air Worldwide (AAWW), which has grown in recent years, having absorbed several of its competitors, including Polar Air Cargo and Southern Air Inc.
