## Description

More trucks than planes carry Buffalo's trade: the Peace Bridge across the Niagara River is one of the busiest US-Canada freight crossings, moving roughly 90 billion US dollars in goods a year, and it shapes the region's logistics far more than the airport does. Buffalo Niagara International (IATA: BUF, ICAO: KBUF) serves a broad domestic network – Southwest, Delta, JetBlue and others – with a steady share of Canadian passengers driving over from Toronto for cheaper US fares. On the cargo side, BUF is a workmanlike regional station: FedEx and UPS express feeders link Western New York to the national sort hubs, while heavyweight air freight routes through Toronto Pearson, JFK or Chicago. Sitting on I-90 midway between Boston and Chicago, Buffalo earns its keep in cross-border trucking as much as in aviation. For shippers, the practical split is clear: use BUF for express and regional consignments, and route heavy intercontinental volumes through the nearby major gateways.
