## Description

FedEx, UPS and Amazon Air all operate their own facilities on the south side of Phoenix Sky Harbor, and together with belly capacity they pushed the airport to 362,702 tons of cargo and mail in 2025 – up 6.9 percent year over year. The field sits just three miles east of downtown Phoenix and ranks among the busiest US airports, with close to 50 million passengers and major American Airlines and Southwest operations feeding wide belly networks. Foreign Trade Zone No. 75 covers the metro area, allowing duty-deferred storage and processing close to the ramp. Road access is hard to beat: Interstates 10 and 17 meet at the airport's doorstep, putting the San Pedro Bay seaports six hours away and El Paso five. Union Pacific serves Phoenix via the Sunset Route, while BNSF runs an intermodal terminal on the city's west side. TSMC's semiconductor fabs in north Phoenix are turning the region into a growing source of high-value, time-critical airfreight. CBP staffs the airport for international clearance under ACE, and known-shipper traffic moves around the clock. For Mexico-bound volumes, planners increasingly weigh nearby Phoenix-Mesa Gateway, where the SkyBridge cross-border facility is taking shape.
