## Description

Twenty thousand square feet of chiller space inside a 40,000 sq ft cargo building defines the freight role of Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport (IATA: GPT, ICAO: KGPT) on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Gateway America operates that facility, handling, clearing and distributing perishables across North America, with a further 20,000 sq ft of sorting space, 6,000 sq ft of offices and Foreign-Trade Zone 92 status on site. Scheduled all-cargo freighter service is not confirmed and the airport does not publish current annual tonnage; on the passenger side GPT recorded 759,485 travellers in 2023 and 502,790 between January and July 2025, up 3.5 percent year on year. GPT is a joint civil-military field, sharing the airfield with the Air National Guard's Combat Readiness Training Center. A planned extension of the secondary runway by more than 1,000 feet, to roughly 6,500 feet, is intended to give carriers a fallback when the main runway is unavailable. Sea and air freight interlock here: the nearby Port of Gulfport, a long-standing entry point for bananas and tropical fruit, won an $11.25 million federal grant in 2026 for rail connections, and the US Army Corps of Engineers has recommended deepening its channel from 36 to 46 feet. Interstate 10 and US 49 serve the coast by road and CSX by rail, while New Orleans (MSY) about 120 km west and Mobile (MOB) some 85 km east are the fallback airports during the June-to-November hurricane season.
