America’s airports have managed to attract a large number of Asian and increasingly Middle Eastern carriers alongside the traditional complement of European carriers, all operating both passenger and dedicated freighters.
But increasing pressure on slots and congestion not just in the airspace, but on the inland transportation side have resulted in a flattening out of growth for many of the main cargo gateways. On the other hand, some like Miami are benefiting from a growing air trade into and out of South America, for which Miamihas traditionally played the gateway role.
But smaller regional airports located away from major city centres have begun aggressively promoting their lower costs, lack of congestion and inland road and raillinks and look set to chip away at their larger counterparts.
The “American Gateways for Asia” Supplement in the September issue will look at these issues and the carriers feeding these nascent and established cargo hubs with cargo from Asia.
