US charter airline Global Crossing Airlines Group (GlobalX) has entered into a digital interline agreement with United Airlines through Airblox’s electronic Block Space Agreement (eBSA).

The agreement has enabled United to secure GlobalX capacity between San Juan (SJU) in Puerto Rico and Chicago (ORD) in the US.

In October last year, GlobalX beagn operating round-trip cargo charter flights between ORD and SJU as part of a new capacity partnership with digital air cargo capacity exchange, Airblox.

GlobalX operates round-trip cargo charter flights between SJU and ORD three times per week. These flights, scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, utilise GlobalX’s Airbus A321 freighters, offering 25 tons of cargo capacity in each direction.

In a previous job I was hauling jetloads of UAL freight across the pacific, the lack of scope regarding our cargo results in far more outsourcing than most polits here realize.

United knows cargo.

We will see the widebody turns go poof out of sju and we will be busy discovering years of petty politics in our own union.

After they sold those to FedEx the running joke was “there’s no money in cargo!”

The difference is we need bodies above the cargo hold to justify those flights. If the people aren’t flowing, just belly freight doesn’t pay the bills. The exception was during Covid when the cargo rates went through the roof due to limited capacity. Look at FedEx and see the problems they are having. Cargo doesn’t necessarily rule the margins the way it once did.

Purple is still making money hand over fist. Most of the issues the pilot group there are facing is due to hostile management and no scope protecting flying outside the contiguous 48 states.

Were these flights flown by regular -10 crews?

The DC-10 Freighter was an ANC based bid available to the general pilot population. It started in early 1997 and shut down in the Fall of 2000.
