Headquartered at Airborne Airpark in unincorporated Clinton County, Ohio, United States, the ABX Air, Inc. is a cargo airline company of the USA. ABX operates scheduled, ad hoc charter and ACMI freight services, including overnight express small-package services and freight in the USA, Canada and Puerto Rico. It also provides specialist training, maintenance and engineering services and part sales. Its main base is Airborne Airpark, the former Clinton County Air Force Base, located just southeast of Wilmington, Ohio, and owned by DHL.

ABX Air’s main customer is DHL, and the vast majority of the freight it carries is for that company. Most of ABX Air’s aircraft are painted with DHL’s yellow and red livery. ABX Air participates in shipping, charter services, specialty training, parts sales and aircraft maintenance from a privately owned 2,000 acre (8 km²) airport that includes 1.24 million square feet (115,000 m²) of space.

The airline was established in 1980 when Airborne Freight acquired Midwest Air Charter. It started operations on 17 April 1980. Airborne Express, as the airline was initially named, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Airborne Freight of Seattle. ABX became a public company on 16 August 2003 as part of the merger of DHL and Airborne, in which DHL kept Airborne’s ground operations and spun off its air operations as ABX. It employs 10,000 staff (at September 2005). ABX Air’s common shares are traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the ticker symbol ABXA.
