## Description

Rice, cotton and soybeans from the Arkansas Delta leave the region on trucks, not from Jonesboro Municipal Airport (IATA: JBR, ICAO: KJBR), which remains a passenger and general-aviation field roughly three miles east of the city. Southern Airways Express was, as of August 2026, the only airline serving Jonesboro, operating an average of three daily round trips to St. Louis (STL) and Nashville (BNA) under the federally subsidised Essential Air Service programme. The airport has no cargo building, no freighter operation and no air-cargo customs post; the small commuter aircraft carry belly loads at best. Local shippers, Arkansas State University and area manufacturers therefore tender air freight by road. Memphis (MEM), the global FedEx superhub about 110 kilometres to the southeast, is the practical gateway with customs and dangerous-goods handling, while Little Rock (LIT) serves as a domestic fallback. For forwarders, JBR is a road-feeder point in the Memphis catchment rather than a freight airport in its own right.
