## Description

Sea and sky divide the work neatly in Savannah: the Port of Savannah's Garden City Terminal, the largest single container terminal in North America, swallows the volume freight, while the airport specialises in something more exclusive, building Gulfstream business jets. Gulfstream Aerospace headquarters, final assembly and flight test all sit on the field – the manufacturer delivered its 50th long-range G700 in May 2025 – making SAV one of American aviation's key industrial addresses. Passenger traffic is booming too, with Delta, American, United, Allegiant and Breeze linking the fast-growing coastal city to the major hubs. Air cargo remains modest by design: express feeders and AOG shipments for the Gulfstream plants dominate the manifest, with volume air freight routing via Atlanta, four hours inland. UPS launched service on a new cargo apron in 2023, and since 2024 a 36-acre air cargo complex with two freight buildings has been rising alongside it. Foreign Trade Zone 104, on-site CBP clearance and the I-95/I-16 junction support the logistics cluster, while CSX and Norfolk Southern tie the seaport directly into the rail network. For forwarders, SAV is a niche airport in a heavyweight freight town.
