    In April 2026, United Airlines received the Silver Award for Best Emergency/Disaster Response Initiative at the HALO Branded Solutions Awards Gala, recognizing the collective efforts of employees, nonprofit partners, and operational teams supporting communities during times of crisis. A major part of this impact comes through the long-standing collaboration with Airlink, Inc. Since 2010, the partnership has helped support an estimated 23 million people worldwide, transporting nearly 5,000 responders and more than 2.1 million pounds of critical aid, including medical supplies, food, and water filtration systems. Recent efforts following Typhoon Sinlaku and flooding in Hawaii once again highlighted the importance of rapid coordination and reliable connectivity when communities are under pressure. As Pulin Thakkar, Senior Manager, Global Community Engagement, at United Airlines, shared: “We continue to focus on being a leader in the disaster-relief space, bringing together the strength of our nonprofit and corporate partners and, most importantly, the many employees who step up in moments that matter.” At United Cargo and United Airlines, these operations reflect a simple principle: when communities rely on air cargo support, we do everything we can to help meet their needs.

  • Big news for our Pacific network. ✈️🌏 United Cargo is now connecting Sapporo, Japan with San Francisco — adding another destination to the world’s largest transpacific network and creating even more opportunities for our customers across Asia and the U.S. And that’s not all: we’re also launching new Chicago–Tokyo Narita service to complement our existing Tokyo Haneda flights, offering even greater flexibility, connectivity, and reach across the Pacific. More network. More connections. More possibilities.

  • When the shipment is irreplaceable, every detail matters. 🌺✈️ A piece of Hawaiian history crossed the Pacific once more — this time guided not by stars, but by a network built to bring it home. Last year, United Cargo was entrusted with transporting a historic Hawaiian ‘Ahu‘ula from Washington, D.C. back to Kona as part of a significant repatriation effort. With specialized handling through UASecure, a seamless routing, and deep respect for the cultural significance behind the shipment, our team helped return more than an artifact — we helped carry a legacy home. Because some shipments are more than cargo. They’re history, culture, and trust in motion. Read the full story below 👇

  • Extending reach across the Pacific Hong Kong plays a central role in how United Cargo structures its cargo flows across Asia and the U.S. Beyond direct connectivity, the network is built through strategic routing. Around30 tons of cargo move daily via Guam, where onward widebody connections link shipments to Japan, Hawaii, and the broader Pacific network. At the same time, infrastructure is evolving. Hong Kong International Airport is scaling toward10 million tonnes of annual cargo capacity by 2030, reinforcing its role as a major global hub. For United Cargo, this combination of gateway strength and network flexibility allows cargo to move efficiently across regions, even as demand patterns shift. Because in transpacific logistics, performance depends on how well the network connects beyond the first flight. LAWRENCE CHEE Raymond Tsang
