## Description

Allegiant Air is HGR's scheduled-passenger lifeline, expanding service about 10% for 2025 with new Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets to Florida and Myrtle Beach destinations. But Hagerstown Regional / Richard A. Henson Field (IATA: HGR, ICAO: KHGR) earns its logistics value at the crossroads of Interstates 81 and 70, one of the US East Coast's busiest warehouse-and-distribution corridors. A reliever for congested Washington-Baltimore airspace, the airport mixes general aviation with limited scheduled and feeder cargo flights on its roughly 2,130 m runway. International air freight moves by bonded truck to Baltimore/Washington (BWI, FTZ 74) and Washington Dulles (IAD, FTZ 137). The field was Fairchild's Air Force Plant 11, where the A-10 Thunderbolt II underwent final assembly until 1984. For forwarders, HGR is a practical regional and express node in the mid-Atlantic.
