I have asked the same question for years now. From what I have been told, the airline does have the most profitability within the company. Just to give you an example, one full can on the 8 pays for the the entire cost for that flight. You can do the math. The 8 holds 17 A2 cans and 1 slightly smaller L9 can on the top. You can also get about 4-5 more loose load cans in the belly. So yes, for the size of the air ops at UPS, they do in fact have the highest profitability of any other group.
