## Description

Roughly 899,000 metric tons of air cargo moved through Indianapolis International Airport (IND, KIND) in 2025, making it one of the eight largest cargo facilities in the United States according to Airports Council International-North America. The airport hosts FedEx Express's second-largest global operation, trailing only the SuperHub in Memphis, with a sort capacity of up to 99,000 packages per hour and several thousand employees on site. Passenger carriers including Delta, United, American and Alaska Airlines also move belly cargo through IND on scheduled flights. International freighter service, such as Cargolux's route from Luxembourg, clears directly through on-site US Customs and Border Protection facilities. Indianapolis sits at the crossing point of interstates 65, 69, 70 and 74, a position long marketed as the "Crossroads of America" that gives shippers easy access to trucking networks across the Midwest. For dedicated e-commerce and parcel volumes, UPS's Worldport facility in Louisville (SDF) and Amazon Air's base at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG) serve as regional alternatives. Time-sensitive and temperature-controlled shipments, including pharmaceuticals and perishables, make up a significant share of IND's overall freight mix. The combination of dedicated freighter capacity and road connectivity makes Indianapolis a practical option for shippers who need speed without routing through a major coastal gateway.
