## Description

A 2,500-acre aerospace and industrial park wraps around the runways at Golden Triangle Regional Airport (IATA: GTR) — infrastructure that explains why this rural Mississippi field matters. PACCAR builds diesel engines here, Steel Dynamics runs a steel mill, Aurora Flight Sciences and Stark Aerospace turn out composite and unmanned-aircraft parts, and Airbus Helicopters assembles the UH-72 Lakota nearby. The airport itself, named for the Columbus-Starkville-West Point triangle it serves, offers American feeder flights to Dallas and Charlotte but no scheduled freighters. Output from these plants leaves by truck and rail, with a FedEx Ground facility right alongside. Air cargo consolidates at Memphis (FTZ 77), two hours north.
