## Description

Next door to Charlotte Motor Speedway, Concord–Padgett Regional (IATA: USA, ICAO: KJQF) sits in the middle of NASCAR country, about eleven kilometres west of downtown Concord and twenty north of uptown Charlotte. Race teams — Hendrick Motorsports among them — base their fleets here, flying crews to circuits across the country while the cars travel by transporter. Its single runway of roughly 2,255 metres also takes narrowbody jets: Allegiant Air serves leisure destinations in the southern United States from Concord, though belly capacity on those flights is not sold as freight. The airport's IATA code «USA» is a quirk all of its own. There is no cargo terminal, no air freight handling agent and no customs office; the region's air cargo clears at Charlotte Douglas (CLT) under 30 kilometres to the southwest, where FedEx and UPS run their own facilities. Interstate 85 and US 29 carry the trucking leg between the two.
