All-cargo operator
Freighter fleet only. Main-deck loading means it can take outsize, heavy and awkward pieces that will not fit a bellyhold, and capacity is not competing with passenger baggage.
Reading an AWB from this airline
A master air waybill issued by Atlas Air starts with 369, followed by an 8-digit serial. The last digit of that serial is a check digit: the first seven digits divided by 7, remainder kept. If the remainder does not match, the number is mistyped — and a mistyped AWB is the single most common reason a tracking lookup returns nothing.

Acceptance for these products is granted per station and per commodity, so it is confirmed when the booking is placed rather than assumed from the airline.
