## Description

Resort and business traffic, not freight, defines Hilton Head Airport (HHH/KHXD) on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, which has no commercial air cargo handling at all. Its single runway measures 1,524 metres (5,000 ft) after a 2018 extension that let carriers replace turboprops with regional jets; American Airlines is the long-standing operator and United stepped up its Chicago O'Hare link to daily service in 2026. A new terminal of roughly 2,500 square metres opened in April 2026 as part of a USD 42 million expansion, but the investment is entirely passenger-side. There is no cargo building, no customs post and no integrator station on the field, so parcels and general cargo reach the island by road. Air freight for Hilton Head, Bluffton and Beaufort is handled at Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV), about 50 km and 45 minutes' drive to the southwest, which has cargo facilities and customs clearance. Charleston (CHS), a little over two hours' drive northeast, is the secondary option.
