AIRBORNE INC /DE/

Airborne Inc, a Delaware corporation with CIK 3000, was the third-largest express delivery company in the United States, specializing in overnight and two-day air freight services to large corporations. The company offered same-day delivery through its Sky Courier subsidiary, ground shipping, logistics services including warehousing and distribution, and international customs clearance and ocean freight. Key customers included major corporations like IBM. Material risks included inability to diversify services compared to competitors FedEx and UPS, limited exposure to emerging internet-based logistics during the late 1990s boom, and over-reliance on traditional overnight delivery services that constrained market responsiveness. Financial performance declined significantly from 1998 peaks, and the company was ultimately acquired by DHL in 2003. View detailed SEC filings for Airborne Inc on Earnings Feed.
