History
editThe airline was established in March 1995 and began operations in December 1995. It was wholly owned by Anthony Romeo, who was also the chairman and chief executive.[2] CAT operated cargo flights on behalf of Emery Worldwide to and from its hub in Dayton, Ohio until Emery's parent company CF Transportation split the air freight activities into its own division, Menlo Forwarding, which took over the contract with CAT. In 2005, UPS acquired Menlo Forwarding and shut down the Dayton hub. CAT's last flight for Menlo Forwarding was on June 30, 2006, when the Dayton hub was officially closed and all but a few CAT pilots and flight engineers were furloughed. CAT performed some flights in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. On April 26, 2012 CAT delivered its remaining Boeing 727 to Aeronaves Peruanas Air cargo and ceased all activity.[3]
