Northern Air Cargo
Northern Air Cargo (NAC) is an American cargo airline based in Anchorage, Alaska, United States. NAC operates a small fleet of Boeing 737 freighter aircraft within the state of Alaska and formerly widebody Boeing 767 freighter services throughout the Caribbean and South America. Other services include aircraft maintenance services through its subsidiary, Northern Air Maintenance Services, on-demand charters, and consolidation of cargo. With a main base at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, NAC is a division of Saltchuk, which is the corporate parent of a number of transportation and distribution companies, including Aloha Air Cargo, a cargo airline based in Hawaii.
Northern Air Cargo was established in 1956 as a charter freight service by Robert "Bobby" Sholton and Maurice Carlson, and began operations with two Fairchild C-82 Packets.
The airline has the distinction of being one of the very few organizations to operate a C-133 Cargomaster in civilian service, which it did during the late 1970s and early 1980s. See Fleet.
In 2019, NAC retired its last Boeing 737-200 freighter with the replacements being later model and improved Boeing 737-300s and 400s.
In July 2025, Northern Air Cargo announced it would withdraw from long-haul flights using the Boeing 767, as well as its Latin American routes from Miami International Airport. This was done to focus more on their domestic operations.
As of October 2025, Northern Air Cargo operates scheduled and charter freight services to the following domestic destinations:
