The U.S. Postal Service transitioned its primary air cargo contract from one carrier to another on September 30, 2024, to further align its transportation strategy with anticipated Delivering for America network changes. This new agreement, valued at approximately $10 billion for the contracting period, is expected to streamline operations by consolidating volumes and reducing overall transportation costs. During the first quarter of fiscal year (FY) 2025, the Postal Service assigned 7 percent less volume to the air network and reduced spending by 43 percent compared to FY 2024.
