('Atlas'), the leading global provider of outsourced aviation logistics solutions, today reaffirmed its partnership with the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA). Leaders from Atlas and UAA, along with faculty and students, were joined by United States Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy at Merrill Field in Anchorage. The Secretary is spearheading the Trump Administration's efforts to invest in the aviation workforce, modernize the air traffic control system, enhance safety, and address nationwide shortages of pilots, controllers, and mechanics. 'President Trump and I are on a mission to make our airspace the envy of the world. We will build a brand-new air traffic control system and address a chronic shortage of controllers and pilots,' said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. 'President Trump's One Big, Beautiful Bill delivered over $100 million into the Don Young Alaska Aviation Safety Initiative to deploy state of the art technology and train the next generation of aviation talent. I applaud Atlas Air Worldwide for doing their part to contribute to this mission.' Aviation is essential to Alaska's economy, with Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) ranking among the world's top five busiest cargo hubs. The University of Alaska Anchorage is widely recognized for its top-tier aerospace program, which ensures students are equipped with the expertise needed to fill these critical roles. To further support Alaska's aviation workforce development, Atlas has also announced the renewal of its scholarship program, which helps students offset educational costs as they prepare for careers in aviation. 'We are proud to continue our partnership with the University of Alaska Anchorage by creating opportunities to advance aviation education,' said Michael Steen, Atlas Air Worldwide Chief Executive Officer. 'By investing in workforce development locally, we are advancing our commitment to aviation in Alaska, and to the resilience of the broader aerospace industry. We are fully dedicated to supporting the efforts led by President Trump and Secretary Duffy to make our airspace the global gold standard.' The new round of funding builds on Atlas-sponsored scholarships announced in 2024—four for maintenance technician students and three for aspiring pilots—and aims to develop a robust pipeline of talent for the sector. 'We are grateful to Atlas Air Worldwide for its continued investment in UAA and our students,' said Ray Weber, Dean of UAA's Community & Technical College. 'This generous donation is transformative, helping us build a more qualified workforce that is vital to Alaska's economic future and the broader industry. Thanks to Atlas, our students are gaining the training and credentials needed to pursue fulfilling careers, securing brighter prospects for the state's workforce and beyond.'

Atlas Air consolidates Miami operations in larger cargo facility
Atlas Air, the largest operator of Boeing 747 cargo jets in the world, said Monday it will relocate to a larger operations base at Miami International Airport, enabling it to consolidate operations in one location with greater capacity for future international growth. Atlas Air is the largest cargo operator at the Miami airport, handling more than 500,000 tons of freight per year. The cargo airline will transition into the new facility on June 23, spokesperson Debbie Coffey said in an email. The building was previously occupied by another airport tenant. Atlas Air for years has operated from several cargo warehouses around the airport, but has outgrown them, she move will enable Atlas to assume direct control over all warehouse functions and dedicated aircraft parking spaces adjacent to the facility, streamlining cargo handling and improving efficiency across the operation. It also allows Atlas to consolidate import and export functions in one purpose-built site, which will speed up transfers between customers and aircraft. The expanded facility includes a 124,000-square foot refrigerated room – the largest on-airport cold storage space in North America – with direct ramp access to aircraft, Atlas said in a news release. The cooler will be used for pharmaceutical and perishable products. The facility's location on the airport perimeter is adjacent to several maintenance, repair and overhaul providers, which Atlas said will help reduce downtime for inspections and mechanical work. 'Having dedicated aircraft parking, warehousing, and a world-class airside-cooler will further enable us to deliver superior services to our customers,' CEO Michael Steen is the seventh largest cargo gateway in the world and largest in the U.S., excluding the FedEx and UPS hubs and the refueling stop in Anchorage, Alaska, and the primary U.S. connection to the Latin America market. Atlas has a large presence in South Florida with a flight training center and commercial marketing office in Miami. FreightWaves reported in August that Atlas Air also plans to invest in a large, dedicated operations base in Anchorage that would significantly expand its capacity to turn around aircraft moving between Asia and the United States.

Pittsburgh airport's new cargo facility welcomes first flights with Boeing 747 freighters
Pittsburgh International Airport's newest cargo facility got its first official use with four Boeing 747-400F freighters filling up before heading off to Europe. The 77,000-square-foot facility known as Cargo 4, which can unload and load two wide-body Boeing 747s or three Boeing 767s at the same time, was completed early this year. There aren't any cargo operators or freight forwarders who have set up shop there permanently, but two well-known international companies, Atlas Air and Challenge Group, used Cargo 4 for what was freight from the Northeast going to Europe. That included an Atlas Air flight from Anchorage, Alaska, to Pittsburgh, according to FlightRadar 24, a flight tracking site.
