Kalitta Air, an American cargo airline, is based at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan.

In January 2003, Kalitta Air launched scheduled cargo flights from the United States to Europe. It now operates regular cargo services between the U.S. and Hong Kong, the U.S. and Korea, as well as between Los Angeles and Honolulu.
