## Description

An international airport does not automatically make a cargo gateway: Orlando Sanford International (SFB/KSFB), some 32 km north of Orlando, carried around 3.1 million passengers in 2025 but handles only marginal air freight. Its cargo building measures about 26,000 sq ft with roughly 6,000 sq ft of handling space — workable for charter, ad-hoc and small consignments, not for scheduled freighter operations. Allegiant Air is the dominant carrier, running Sanford as a focus city with more than 50 destinations, so what freight there is moves as belly and courier traffic. The airport logged roughly 394,000 aircraft movements in 2025 against comparatively modest passenger numbers, reflecting its role as a major commercial pilot training base. Customs and immigration facilities are in place, so charter imports are possible in principle. A roughly USD 300 million expansion programme was announced in 2025, aimed at terminal and apron capacity. For planned air freight in the Orlando area, Orlando International (MCO) about 50 km south is the practical choice, with Daytona Beach (DAB) roughly 55 km away as a coastal option.
