Sources for Transportation Quotes
American Airlines currently employs Worldwide Freight Management (WFM) to
broker transportation services. WFM is a local transportation management company
that seeks out the most competitive carriers for required service levels. WFM is a
subsidiary of Worldwide Flight Services. Prior to April 1999 these companies were
underneath the AMR umbrella. Section II provides the contact information for WFM
personnel.
Commodity Managers are expected to manage the transportation aspect of their
desk. The following information is provided to assist in this process. To obtain
transportation quotes from WFM or other suppliers, certain specific information is
required. The following pages, Section IA (WFM) / Section IB (other firms), contain
templates for gathering this information. Please note that the Commodity Manager is
responsible for ensuring the competitiveness of the transportation element. Section II,
Logistics Sources, provides the contact information for several companies. If the
transportation cost component is in excess of the CM’s signing authority level, it is
recommended that you consult with a Commodity Manager responsible for distribution
services.
Other transportation alternatives also exist via FedEx and Comat. AA has
negotiated favorable interline rates with FedEx while COMAT is the movement of
company material on company aircraft. These methods are detailed in Sections IV and
V.

FedEx rates vary according to weight, service level, and destination, ranging
from $0.2875 to greater than $11.00 per pound.

A valid FedEx account number must be included on the shipment to qualify.
Otherwise, AA is charged the full amount, rather than the 75% discounted
interline rate.

International shipments have one service level. Domestic shipments may have
three.

Interline rates apply only to shipments less than or equal to 500 pounds.

Limits apply to the size and dimensions of these shipments. Lightweight, high
cube shipments do not qualify for this program.

If possible, 2nd day service should be utilized, as these rates are
approximately 60% less than priority overnight and 30% less than standard
overnight.

International shipments incur customs and duty fees that are billed separately
from the freight charge.

COMAT
2000 CARGO RATES AND PROCEDURES
The following paragraphs outline the requirements for the tendering and transport of
Company Material (COMAT) shipments of/by American Airlines Cargo. COMAT
shipments will be given the same priority as all other shipments that are accepted for
transport on American Airlines.
The applicable station/branch number must appear on the source document/manifest
prior to tendering the shipment to American Airlines. If you are unsure of the correct
station/branch number, contact the AA department initiating the shipment. Failure to
provide this number on the source document/manifest will cause undue delay in
accepting/transporting the shipment.
The source document or manifest must show complete information to ensure accurate
input, routing, and delivery of the shipment. This information includes level of service,
form of payment (charge code and station/branch), declared value, shipper and cosignee information, description of contents, pieces and weight, shipper’s/agent’s
signature, dangerous goods declaration, Precise Account Locator (PAL) number (if
applicable) and shipper/consignee 24-hour contact for perishable shipments. The
COMAT service levels are as follows:
