Emery Worldwide (Emery) was an American air freight forwarder and air cargo carrier founded in 1946.[1] "Emery was a pioneer in the early air freight business – first renting space on existing carrier routes and later developing a full line of dedicated aircraft. For almost 40 years, Emery was the largest freight carrier in the world."[2] Emery was acquired by Consolidated Freightways in 1989,[3] and by United Parcel Service (as Menlo Worldwide Forwarding[4]) in 2004.
