Give your notes a connection to the history of American express freight with this ASTAR Air Cargo spiral notebook. The airline began in 1969 as DHL Worldwide Express, later became DHL Airways, and took the ASTAR name in 2003 after a management buyout. Its changing relationship with DHL and its Cincinnati-area operating base remain defining parts of its story, which concluded with the end of cargo operations in 2012. A useful keepsake for aviation enthusiasts, researchers, and brand-history collectors.
ASTAR Air Cargo was an American cargo airline based in Miami, Florida, with its main base at Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport in Hebron, Kentucky, and hubs in Miami and Los Angeles. The airline began operations in 1969 as DHL Worldwide Express, formed by Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn. It was spun off from DHL, with a majority stake sold to a private investor to meet federal foreign-ownership requirements. After FedEx and UPS questioned DHL Airways’ U.S. citizenship and operational control, the company adopted the DHL Airways name on December 22, 1981, and expanded services to Asia and Australia. In July 2003, John Dasburg completed a management buyout; the airline took the ASTAR Air Cargo name on June 30. DHL and the United States Air Force were its two target customers. DHL acquired minority nonvoting and voting stakes in 2007 and gained a board seat. In 2008, DHL announced plans to shift air transportation to UPS, but withdrew that plan in May 2009, and ASTAR continued operating from DHL’s Cincinnati facility. After DHL abruptly ended its contract effective June 1, 2012, ASTAR shut down cargo operations and stored its remaining active aircraft.
