An Innovative Firm
The company began its operations as a local business with only a single office. Incorporated as “Pilot Air Freight” in October, 1970, the firm conducted business in Philadelphia. It underwent extensive challenges during its first few years of operations. During the early 1970s, an international oil embargo by the OPEC Cartel caused prices at the pump to soar in the United States. Pilot Air Freight served as a freight forwarding firm; the company reserved space for shipments on planes maintained and operated by other enterprises. Despite a challenging period in the U. S. transportation industry, by 1974 the young firm’s assets had reached the $1 million mark.
Pilot Air Freight became a trailblazer in establishing shipping franchises. It prospered during the late 1970s and reached $12 million in value by 1980. During the early 1980s, the firm began establishing ventures with partners in international locations. Its rapidly growing network enabled it to reach the upper echelon of global freight shipping companies by the end of the decade. During the early 1990s, Pilot Air Freight began offering franchises on an international scale, too. It enjoyed over $100 million in revenues by 1995.
An Innovator in The Information Age
In 2003, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Richard G. Phillips, bought out the interest of other leading shareholders. By the end of the year, his firm reported impressive sales revenues of some $250 million. The company has remained a significant force in the freight shipping and freight forwarding industry. It ranks as a leading competitor of giants such as DHL Worldwide Express Network S.A./N.V. and BAX Global, Inc.
In 2018, the company acquired Manna Freight Systems. The firm maintains a powerful network of franchises and joint venture partners in locations around the globe. Its capabilities enable it to meet the needs of businesses and entrepreneurs shipping cargo to locations in the USA and worldwide.
