What is an Aerial Mail Terminal (AMT) used for?

An Aerial Mail Terminal (AMT) is designed specifically for receipt and dispatch services related to the transport of mail via air. This facility plays a crucial role in the logistical process of handling mail efficiently, ensuring that different types of mail—such as letters, packages, and other postal items—are processed and sent to their respective destinations through air transport. The AMT facilitates coordination between various carriers, manages loading and unloading, and typically ensures compliance with regulatory requirements associated with air mail.

In contrast to other functions, the AMT's primary focus is not solely limited to parcels, financial services, or domestic mail, but encompasses all mail transport that utilizes aerial means. This makes its operational scope broader than merely handling parcel deliveries or specific types of mail, such as domestic only, and it does not provide financial services, which are typically handled by distinct postal or banking facilities.
