(the “Company” or “GlobalX”), the Nation’s fastest growing charter airline, today announced that it has entered into a digital interline agreement with United Airlines through Airblox’s innovative electronic Block Space Agreement (“eBSA”), enabling efficient cargo transport between San Juan (SJU) and Chicago (ORD).
GlobalX operates round-trip cargo charter flights between San Juan (SJU) and Chicago (ORD) three times per week. These flights, scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, utilize GlobalX’s advanced Airbus A321F freighter, offering an impressive 25 tons of cargo capacity in each direction.
This service is exclusively accessible via the Airblox platform, reflecting its pivotal role in facilitating this collaboration. Leveraging Airblox’s innovative tools, United Airlines secured the entire GlobalX A321F cargo space for transporting goods from San Juan to Chicago, ensuring streamlined operations and competitive pricing for their cargo needs.
“This collaboration showcases how Airblox continues to redefine the air cargo industry by connecting leading players like United Airlines and GlobalX through digital innovation,” said Edip Pektas, CEO of Airblox. “We are thrilled to facilitate this partnership and provide our customers greater reliability and efficiency for their cargo requirements.

Our state-of-the-art Airbus A321F freighters are the optimal choice for efficient narrow-body cargo transportation. With a payload capacity of 25 tons, a 19% reduction in fuel consumption compared to competitive aircraft, and advanced loading capabilities, the A321F ensures swift and secure handling of goods needed to meet the growing demand for air cargo between Chicago and San Juan. This partnership highlights Airblox’s top-notch customer service, flexible options, competitive pricing, and ability to enable strategic collaborations within the air cargo sector.”
