## Description

Northeast Florida runs on movement: CSX has its headquarters in Jacksonville, JAXPORT ranks among the top US ports for vehicle handling, and I-95 meets I-10 right in town. Jacksonville International Airport (IATA: JAX, ICAO: KJAX) adds the airborne layer with roughly 100,000 tons of cargo a year, carried by daily FedEx and UPS services plus belly space on scheduled flights. About eight million passengers use the airport annually, with Southwest, Delta and American leading the schedule. Foreign Trade Zone No. 64 covers the metro area, and three naval installations generate steady government and spare-parts logistics. For large international airfreight consignments, planners typically benchmark JAX against Atlanta and Miami; for express and regional distribution across North Florida and South Georgia, JAX is the shortest route. One quirk for the road atlas: Interstate 10, which starts at the Pacific in Santa Monica, ends its 3,900-kilometer run in Jacksonville.
