## Description

Cargolux, Qatar Airways Cargo, Atlas Air and LATAM Cargo all work the ramp at Huntsville International Carl T. Jones Field (IATA HSV, ICAO KHSV), the airport its operator Port of Huntsville ranks 21st among US mainland airports for international air cargo. That makes HSV the freight leader in Alabama and one of the few regional-sized fields in the country where dedicated freighters, not just belly space, carry the tonnage — FedEx and UPS add integrator volume, while DSV (formerly Panalpina) and Kerry Logistics route forwarder flows of their own. The Port of Huntsville combines the airfield with an International Intermodal Center and the Jetplex industrial park, offering roughly 436,000 sq ft of cargo warehousing and about 35,000 sq ft of cold storage along the apron. HSV is among the small group of US airports cleared for Group VI aircraft such as the Boeing 747-8F and Antonov An-124, which suits the outsized aerospace and defence shipments generated by Redstone Arsenal, NASA Marshall and the region's automotive plants. Foreign-Trade Zone 83 and on-site US Customs and Border Protection clearance allow duty deferral on stored and re-exported goods. Interstate 565 runs to the terminal, the I-65 corridor lies some 30 km west and Norfolk Southern serves the intermodal rail yard; Atlanta (ATL) about 350 road km east and Memphis (MEM) roughly 330 km west are the usual alternatives for overflow. In April 2026 the east runway 18L/36R returned to service after a USD 12.3 million, fourteen-month rehabilitation with new pavement and LED lighting.
