Growing Global Markets

As we look to the future for Mercury Air Group, we see many opportunities to grow our business in the current markets we serve as well as many other markets we have targeted for future expansion. The global business environment for the aviation services is strong and growing.
 

Air Cargo Services: Mercury Air Cargo

Air Cargo Services continues to be a solid growth component of Mercury Air Group. The demand for air cargo continues to increase at an 18% yearly average and Mercury is positioned to take advantage of this growth.

Since most airlines are focused primarily on passenger business, often cargo space goes unfilled. Our Space Logistics Division purchases air cargo capacity in bulk from airlines at a discount and resells it to freight forwarders and large shippers. Mercury, therefore, reduces the costs for shippers and forwarders through lower rates while providing significant pre-paid income to airlines for their otherwise unused cargo space. It’s a win-win situation.

With locations in the U.S. and dozens of agents worldwide, Mercury Air Cargo is positioned to further its reach into this market. Add to this our cargo handling capability with recently expanded facilities at Los Angeles LAX airport as well as facilities in Atlanta, Toronto and Montreal, Mercury is strategically situated to provide tactical cargo sales and logistics services to its customers worldwide.
 

Gov. Support Services: Maytag Aircraft

The out-sourcing of government services, brought on by the Base Realignment And Closure (BRAC) initiative, has positively impacted our main government services business unit, Maytag Aircraft. With BRAC, the U.S. Government has been going through a downsizing phase, facilitating the transition of non-military functions to the private sector. This initiative enables the U.S. Government to utilize military staffing for more critical functions.

As a result, Maytag Aircraft has been competing for increased and more comprehensive government contracts. In 1996, Maytag serviced 17 government contracts and now services more than 30 contracts, ranging from aircraft refueling, terminal and ground support to base operational support, weather forecasting and observation.

Today, Maytag Aircraft is a major provider of services to the Defense Energy Support Center and the U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command, servicing aircraft refueling and air terminal contracts worldwide.

Over the past several years, Maytag Aircraft has been able to achieve a greater market share through an increase in “best value” procurements which reward contractors, such as Maytag, for demonstrated past performance.
