## Description

Roughly 640,000 metric tons of cargo crossed Hartsfield-Jackson's ramps in 2025, a respectable figure anywhere else, almost a footnote at an airport that handles over 100 million passengers a year. Atlanta's freight story is a belly story: Delta Air Lines' largest hub generates cargo capacity on hundreds of daily departures, blanketing the Southeast, Latin America and Europe with uplift that no freighter network could match for frequency. Dedicated freighter operators, Korean Air Cargo, Cargolux and Qatar among them, use the airport's three cargo complexes, which include a perishables centre and round-the-clock CBP clearance within Foreign Trade Zone 26. Ground connectivity is elite, I-75, I-85 and the I-285 perimeter converge here, CSX and Norfolk Southern run major intermodal terminals, and 80 percent of the US market lies within a two-hour flight. Delta TechOps, one of North America's largest MRO operations, adds an aviation-industrial dimension. For forwarders, ATL is the definitive belly-capacity play of the American Southeast.
