## Description

FedEx and UPS feeders do the daily heavy lifting at Fort Wayne International (IATA: FWA, ICAO: KFWA), which recorded roughly 141.8 million pounds of all-cargo landed weight in 2025 alongside 983,042 passengers. Its main runway 5/23 measures 3,652 metres — a legacy of the adjoining Air National Guard base — and can take large freighters, backed by a 2,439-metre and a 1,220-metre runway. Those express feeders connect north-eastern Indiana to the Memphis and Louisville sort centres, while belly capacity comes from American, Delta and United services to their connecting airports. The catchment is industrial: General Motors builds pickup trucks at its Fort Wayne assembly plant, supported by suppliers and medical-device manufacturing. Oversized and intercontinental shipments still route via Indianapolis (IND) or Chicago O'Hare (ORD), each roughly two hours by truck on I-69. In 2026 the airport completed its east terminal and parking expansion, and United raised its O'Hare frequency from four to six daily rotations in April.
