This refers to cargo (excluding baggage) transported by aircraft. The transport of goods such as product samples, news manuscripts, and fresh food by taking advantage of speed has existed since the days of propeller planes, but it was a secondary transport using the cargo bays below passenger aircraft. However, with the introduction of jumbo jets in the 1960s and large cargo planes in the 1970s, increased transport capacity and reduced costs, as well as market demand for the transport of small but high-value-added goods such as IC products and optical equipment that are suitable for air cargo transport, air cargo transport rapidly increased, leading to the birth of dedicated cargo companies in the United States.

航空機で輸送される貨物(手荷物を除く)をいう。商品サンプル,ニュース原稿,生鮮食料品などスピードを利用しての貨物輸送はプロペラ機時代からあったが,旅客機の下部貨物室を使う副次的輸送であった。しかし,1960年代のジャンボ・ジェット機,70年代の大型貨物専用機の登場による輸送力の増大とコストの低下,また航空貨物輸送に適するIC製品や光学機器など,重量的には小さくとも付加価値の高い商品輸送に対する市場側の要求から航空貨物輸送は急増し,アメリカでは貨物専用会社も誕生することとなった。
