SkyTeam Cargo is a global cargo alliance in which 8 members of the SkyTeamairline alliance are included. (Aeroflot and Aeroflot Cargo have been suspended from both the passenger and the cargo alliance.) SkyTeam Cargo aims to "deliver seamless and sustainable service via technology and aviation". The alliance has 15 cargo hubs, 150 destination countries, and 60 shared warehouses. SkyTeam Cargo is the only type of cargo alliance in the world and is the largest since the WOW Alliance ceased and disbanded in 2010.[citation needed]
KLM Cargo joined SkyTeam Cargo in September 2004, four months after the merger of Air France and KLM, which subsequently created the Air France-KLM holding company.[6] The following year, in September, Northwest Airlines Cargo joined the cargo alliance, a move which came one year after Northwest Airlines joined SkyTeam. However, on 14 April 2008, Northwest merged with Delta Air Lines, which led to the largest airline in the world. China Southern Airlines joined the cargo alliance by November 2010.[citation needed] By November 2013, Aerolíneas Argentinas, one of the leading South American carriers, joined the SkyTeam Cargo Alliance adding more than 30 Latin American destinations to the global network.[7]
