## Description

Where a runway meets a railhead: Huntsville's Carl T. Jones Field is built around the idea that air and rail freight belong on the same site. As the cargo heavyweight of Alabama, HSV anchors the Port of Huntsville, an inland port that pairs the airport with an International Intermodal Center and the Jetplex industrial park. By international air-cargo volume HSV ranks 21st in the continental U.S.; eight freight carriers work the ramp — Cargolux, Qatar Airways Cargo, Atlas Air and LATAM Cargo alongside integrators FedEx and UPS, with forwarders DSV (formerly Panalpina) and Kerry Logistics routing their own flows. The Intermodal Center ties air and rail freight together at the terminal across roughly 436,000 sq ft of cargo warehousing plus 35,000 sq ft of cold storage, and posted record container lifts in 2024. Foreign-Trade Zone 83 brings duty-deferred status and on-site CBP clearance to north Alabama's aerospace and defence supply chains, fed by Redstone Arsenal and NASA Marshall next door. Interstate 565, the I-65 corridor and Norfolk Southern complete the road-and-rail picture; passenger numbers stay modest, because freight is the headline here.
