Airborne Express, as the airline was initially named, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Airborne Freight of Seattle. ABX became a public company in August 16 2003 as part of the merger of DHL and Airborne, in which DHL kept Airborne's ground operations and spun off its air operations as ABX. It employs 10,000 staff (at September 2005). ABX Air's common shares are traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the ticker symbol ABXA.
