You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026. Your current IP address is 3.236.198.232.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Its main base is [[Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport]], with hubs at [[Los Angeles International Airport]], [[Hong Kong International Airport]], [[Narita International Airport]] and [[Incheon International Airport]] near Seoul, South Korea.<ref name="FI">((cite news | title= Directory: World Airlines | work= [[Flight International]] | page= 64 | date= 2007-04-10))</ref> Polar's parent company is [[Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings]] and [[DHL]] has a 49% equity interest in the airline.

== History ==
[[File:N643GT (9029054422).jpg|thumb|right|A Polar Air Cargo [[Boeing 767|Boeing 767-300ERF]] in [[DHL Express]] colors (2013)]]
Polar was formed in 1993 as a joint venture between [[Southern Air Transport]] and [[GE Commercial Aviation Services|GE Capital Aviation Services]] (GECAS). It started operations in June 1993 and began with charter flights, later adding scheduled services. During 1994, Polar was certified as a supplemental air carrier by the [[Federal Aviation Administration]] and on 4 July 1994 as a US all-cargo carrier by the [[United States Department of Transportation]]. After several years of continued growth, the remainder of the company was acquired by GECAS. ((Citation needed|date=July 2007))

In November 2001, Polar was acquired by Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (AAWW), whose [[Atlas Air]] subsidiary is a provider of [[Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance|ACMI]] (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance) freighter leasing. Polar became the scheduled service provider for AAWW, while Atlas continued to supply [[Boeing 747-400]] freighters on a wet-lease basis to major airlines. In October 2006, it was announced that [[DHL Express]] would be acquiring a 49% stake in Polar.<ref>((cite web|url=http://info.hktdc.com/shippers/vol29_6/vol29_6_aircargo01.htm|title=Polar, DHL ink partnership (hktdc.com)))</ref> ((As of|March 2007)), Polar is still majority-owned by Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (51%) and has 736 employees.<ref name="FI"/>

In April 2023 Former Polar Air Cargo COO Lars Winkelbauer was arrested in Thailand and charged, along with 10 others, with defrauding the company of an estimated $52m.<ref>[https://theloadstar.com/fbi-round-up-alleged-polar-fraudsters/#  FBI rounds-up former Polar execs charged with $52m fraud]</ref>
