## Description

Two airfields share San Antonio's freight duties: the international airport on the north side handles the daily FedEx and UPS rotations alongside 10-million-plus passengers, while the former Kelly Air Force Base – today Port San Antonio – offers an 11,500-foot runway, an aerospace industrial park and room for widebody freighter charters. Boeing overhauls aircraft there, and outsize cargo has a Texas-sized place to land. The city's logistics logic is continental: San Antonio sits on the I-35 NAFTA corridor, two and a half hours from Laredo, America's busiest land border crossing, with Toyota building pickups locally and Joint Base San Antonio anchoring one of the largest military communities in the country. Scheduled intercontinental airfreight still routes via DFW or Houston. For a city this well positioned, that is less a weakness than a division of labour.
