## Description

Greenwood–Leflore Airport (IATA: GWO, ICAO: KGWO) is a general-aviation field seven miles east of Greenwood, Mississippi, with no scheduled passenger airline or commercial cargo handling. The Delta's economy runs on cotton, soybeans and catfish, but freight moves by road, not from this runway. For air cargo, the FedEx world hub at Memphis (MEM) lies about 130 miles north via US-49 and I-55 — roughly a two-hour drive — while Jackson (JAN) is some 100 miles south. For forwarders, GWO serves business and charter aviation rather than shipments.
