## Description

More Gulfstreams than freighters: Palm Beach International Airport (IATA: PBI, ICAO: KPBI) ranks among America's busiest business-aviation fields in the winter season, yet its cargo footprint stays light. Scheduled traffic brings about seven million passengers a year on Delta, JetBlue, American and United. FedEx and UPS operate feeder services; anything heavier is normally trucked to Miami or Fort Lauderdale, roughly an hour south on I-95. The maritime neighbor carries more weight – the Port of Palm Beach, home of Tropical Shipping, supplies a large share of all goods consumed in the Bahamas. The field opened in 1936 as Morrison Field and staged Air Transport Command ferry flights across the Atlantic during World War II. Today the airport connects directly to I-95 and Florida's Turnpike, and Brightline trains stop in downtown West Palm Beach.
