## Description

Semiconductors changed the freight math around Albany: GlobalFoundries' chip fab in nearby Malta gave New York's Capital Region a high-value export base alongside its government payroll. Albany International (ALB) backs this with scheduled all-cargo service from FedEx and UPS, handled in an air cargo complex of around 53,000 square feet with apron positions for several freighters. Passengers are served by Southwest, Delta, United and JetBlue. Larger consignments route through JFK, Newark or Boston, each about two and a half truck hours away via I-87 and I-90, which cross at Albany. Founded in 1928, ALB claims the title of America's oldest municipal airport, now paired with a distinctly high-tech hinterland.
