How SkyTeam Cargo Started

SkyTeam Cargo was created in September 2000. This happened shortly after its "parent" group, SkyTeam, was formed in June 2000. SkyTeam is an alliance for passenger flights, meaning it helps people travel.

The first airlines to join SkyTeam Cargo were Aeroméxico Cargo, Air France Cargo, Delta Air Logistics, and Korean Air Cargo. These were the cargo (or freight) parts of airlines that were already members of the SkyTeam passenger alliance.

Who Are the Members?

The four founding members of SkyTeam are Aeroméxico, Air France, Delta Air Lines and Korean Air.

A "cargo alliance" is a group of airlines that team up to share their networks and services. This makes it easier and faster to send packages and goods across different countries. It's like a big delivery service that uses many different airlines to get your stuff where it needs to go.
