• Abstract:
  This report contains a contextual review of air cargo transportation in the 10-state Mid-America Freight
  
  Coalition (MAFC) region including the industry’s recent history, security implications, and integration within
  
  the greater MAFC economy. The report contains an inventory of air cargo facilities throughout the 10-states,
  
  including airports, air cargo screening facilities, and foreign trade zones. The researchers analyzed air cargo
  
  activity by weight at the region-wide, state, and individual airport levels. An analysis of air cargo movement
  
  patterns by tonnage is also provided. Similarly the report contains analyses of MAFC air cargo movements
  
  by value and commodity.
  
  In the MAFC region, major metropolitan areas such as Chicago, IL; Minneapolis, MN; Detroit, MI;
  
  Indianapolis, IN; and Louisville, KY form the core markets for the air cargo industry. An important component
  
  of this study focuses on the improved or expanded role smaller general aviation (GA) airports can play to
  
  enhance air cargo opportunities for themselves and their community. The report contains insights into how
  
  general aviation airports can play a role within the MAFC air cargo industry. The study contains case studies
  
  of exceptional air cargo stories including the experience of airports in St. Louis, MI and Fort Wayne, IN; the
  
  role of air cargo in supporting auto manufacturing, regional contexts and considerations, and multi-airport
  
  “twinning” arrangements.
  
  Recommendations and conclusions are intended to be suggestive considerations for integration into the
  
  greater decision-making process.
