Ram Air Freight

Ram Air Freight was a cargo airline based in Morrisville, North Carolina, United States. It specialized in airfreight transportation, primarily the local and regional shipment of processed (printed) checks for banks. The company owned and operated a fleet of light, piston-engine aircraft and competed with other regional and national transportation and logistics firms. As banking systems transitioned to electronic check processing via the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, the market for this form of freight gradually disappeared. That digitization shift - combined with the retirement of the company's original partners, led to wind-down of Ram Air Freight's operations.

The airline had its main base at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport.^[2] It ceased operations on March 2, 2012. Following the closure, certain operational assets, including its FAA Part 135 air carrier and 145 repair station certificates, equipment, and personnel were transferred to another NC-based charter operator.
