## 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 (IATA: ALB, ICAO: KALB) supports this with scheduled all-cargo service from FedEx, UPS and DHL, handled in a 53,000-square-foot air cargo complex with apron positions for several freighters. On the passenger side the airport recorded about 3.14 million travellers and 64,383 aircraft operations in 2025, served by Southwest, Delta, United and JetBlue. Larger consignments and intercontinental routings still move through JFK, Newark or Boston, each roughly two and a half truck hours away via I-87 and I-90, which cross at Albany. Concourse A is currently being rehabilitated under a multi-year terminal programme run by the Albany County Airport Authority. Founded in 1928, ALB claims the title of America's oldest municipal airport, now paired with a distinctly high-tech hinterland.
