National Air Cargo Group, Inc.

National Air Cargo Group, Inc., operating as National Airlines, is a for-profit global air cargo and passenger carrier headquartered in Orlando, Florida, that provides domestic and international charter air transportation services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) on full-and-open competitive vehicles with no small business set-asides. National Air Cargo Group is a subsidiary of National Air Cargo, Inc.

National Airlines' federal footprint is extraordinarily concentrated in Air Mobility Command (AMC). AMC accounts for 3,068 awards (86% of the vendor's total prime awards) valued at $11.04 billion combined potential value—representing 74% of the vendor's entire $14.86 billion portfolio. The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) ranks second with 429 awards and $784.9 million in potential value, while the Army's Materiel Command Surface Deployment and Distribution Command carries 69 awards and $2.12 billion in potential value. Department of the Air Force separate from AMC accounts for $847.4 million across two awards, anchoring a significant long-term commitment.

National Airlines operates as the exclusive prime contractor on five primary indefinite-delivery vehicles with AMC and OSD, all extending through September 30, 2030. The largest single vehicle is the International Charter Airlift Services in Support of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet IDIQ, awarded October 1, 2024, with a $289.996 million ceiling and 869 task orders to date generating $953 million in combined potential value. A second vehicle under the same program name—International Charter Airlift Services in support of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet—carries $231.9 million in combined potential value across 195 task orders. The Global Heavyweight Services IDIQ, managed by OSD, carries a $1.5 billion ceiling across 429 delivery orders and supports cargo delivery, personnel transport, and heavy equipment movement across international locations including Kuwait, Qatar, Japan, Poland, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and others. Additional vehicles include HTC71119DCC40 (881 task orders, $120.9 million combined potential value) and HTC71124DCC16 (332 task orders, $60 million combined potential value), both with AMC.

National Airlines' recent delivery order activity reflects sustained demand. In 2024, the vendor received 410 awards; in 2025, activity totaled 263 awards; in 2026 through mid-May, 77 awards were recorded. The 2025–2026 trajectory shows typical quarterly fluctuation consistent with contingency tasking and operational lift requirements rather than a systematic decline. Over the next twenty-four months, five awards valued at $15.3 million collectively face ultimate completion dates and recompete exposure—a negligible recompete cliff relative to the vendor's $14.86 billion portfolio, reflecting the structural dominance of long-duration CRAF and Global Heavyweight Services vehicles extending through September 2030.

Capability portfolio centers exclusively on air charter operations. Recent representative work includes $1.82 million for Civil Reserve Air Fleet air transportation services to Kuwait (July 2025), $1.6 million for CRAF services to Japan (January 2026), $1.58 million for domestic charter air transportation to Riverside, California (July 2025), $5.2 million for CRAF services across multiple international locations (October 2025), and $3.09 million for CRAF air transportation to Japan (October 2025). Delivery order values range from approximately $5,300 to $5.4 million. Work is performed at domestic military installations (MCAS Cherry Point, Fort Drum, Langley AFB, Travis AFB, and others) and at forward-deployed locations (Kuwait, Japan, Poland, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, Djibouti, Norway, Thailand, and others). National Airlines operates a fleet of wide-body aircraft and serves as a strategic participant in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program, which supplements military airlift capacity during contingencies and routine defense logistics operations through commercial carrier participation.

National Airlines holds no subcontract portfolio; all awards reflect prime contractor status. The vendor competes full-and-open with no small business set-asides, reflecting its size and established competitive standing in the federal air transportation market. The company maintains a single corporate parent, National Air Cargo, Inc., and no named subsidiaries in the source.
