## Description

Beef, corn and farm machinery are what central Nebraska ships — and none of it leaves by air from Grand Island's Central Nebraska Regional Airport (GRI/KGRI). On the passenger side, American Eagle serves a connecting hub under the federal Essential Air Service program, with Allegiant adding seasonal runs to Las Vegas and Florida; no dedicated freight carrier is based here. Air cargo for the region trucks about 95 miles (150 km) east to Omaha Eppley (OMA) — FedEx air hub, Amazon Air, Foreign-Trade Zone 19 — along Interstate 80, while beef, grain and corn ride Union Pacific and BNSF rails. Each spring roughly half a million sandhill cranes stage on the nearby Platte River, the largest gathering of the species on earth. For freight, though, the working address is Omaha.
