National Air Cargo Group, Inc., doing business as National Airlines, was awarded a $270,000 firm fixed-price delivery order by Air Mobility Command on September 6, 2018, for domestic charter air transportation services with a completion date of September 13, 2018. The contract was performed at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska and represents a child delivery order under the parent Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract. This award was issued without set-aside designation, indicating the contractor's competitive positioning in the federal air transportation market and capacity to secure work through full and open competition.
National Airlines operates as a strategic partner within the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) program, which augments military airlift capacity through commercial carrier participation. The company maintains a fleet of wide-body aircraft capable of executing diverse air transportation missions, including cargo delivery, personnel transport, and heavy equipment movement. Air Mobility Command, which funded this contract, uses such delivery orders to rapidly task air transportation capacity for time-sensitive and routine requirements throughout the Department of Defense's global operational footprint. National Airlines' extensive federal contract experience reflects its established role as a critical provider of flexible air mobility capacity in support of DoD logistics and mobility operations.
