Emery Worldwide was an American air freight forwarder and air cargo carrier founded in 1946. Emery was a pioneer in the early air freight industry, initially renting space on existing carrier routes before developing a fleet of dedicated aircraft. For nearly 40 years, Emery was the largest freight carrier in the world. Emery was acquired by Consolidated Freightways in 1989 and by United Parcel Service in 2004.
