## Description

Allegiant Air runs the only scheduled passenger service at Hagerstown Regional / Richard A. Henson Field (IATA: HGR, ICAO: KHGR), a Maryland reliever airport whose freight relevance rests on trucking rather than on freighter aircraft. Positioned at the junction of Interstates 81 and 70, one of the busiest warehouse and distribution corridors on the US East Coast, the field mixes general aviation with limited scheduled flights and feeder or express cargo on a runway of roughly 2,130 m. No international all-cargo carrier is based here: intercontinental air freight clears customs at Baltimore/Washington (BWI, Foreign-Trade Zone 74) or Washington Dulles (IAD, FTZ 137) and moves on by bonded truck. Washington County broke ground in April 2026 on a 4,800-square-foot, USD 5.1 million terminal extension co-funded by the FAA and the Maryland Aviation Administration. Allegiant's network from HGR covers Florida and the South Carolina coast, so belly capacity for shippers is negligible. The site was Fairchild's Air Force Plant 11, where the A-10 Thunderbolt II underwent final assembly until 1984. Forwarders should treat HGR as a regional and express node within the mid-Atlantic distribution belt rather than as a customs entry point of its own.
