## Description

Bobby L Chain Municipal Airport (IATA: HBG, ICAO: KHBG) is Hattiesburg's general aviation field in southern Mississippi and carries no scheduled passenger or cargo service; airline traffic for the city uses Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional (PIB) about 25 kilometres to the north. Business aviation, flight training, air ambulance and charter movements make up the activity, alongside the occasional urgent piece flown in on a light aircraft. There is no freight terminal and no customs facility on site. Forestry and wood processing, healthcare and the University of Southern Mississippi shape local demand, and their supplies and spares travel almost entirely by road. Air freight reaches Hattiesburg by truck from Gulfport-Biloxi (GPT) roughly 110 kilometres south, Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers (JAN) around 150 kilometres north-west, or New Orleans Louis Armstrong (MSY) a little over two hours away. Overnight express and intercontinental cargo still route through the integrator hubs at Memphis (MEM) and Louisville (SDF), reached via Interstate 59 and US Highway 49. For shippers, HBG is a field for business flights and special missions rather than for planned freight.
