Kalitta Air provides air cargo transportation services, aircraft heavy maintenance, parts sales and service, and engineering services. Headquartered at Willow Run Airport (KYIP) in Ypsilanti Township, Mich., the company operates worldwide.
Kalitta’s call sign—”Connie”— is a nod to its founder, Conrad “Connie” Kalitta, who began the business as a car-part-carrying airline in 1967. The airline changed its name to American International Airways in 1984, when it began offering air freight, air ambulance, and charter operations.
