## Description

FedEx and UPS carry the scheduled freight at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV/KSAV) — FedEx with Boeing 757 service, UPS through feeder flights operated by Air Cargo Carriers using Short 360 aircraft. The airport handled roughly 11,829 tonnes of cargo in 2025. A new 36-acre air cargo campus gives SAV expansion headroom that comparable regional airports often lack. Scheduled intercontinental freighter service is not part of the picture; overseas consignments typically move by road feeder service to Atlanta (ATL), around 400 kilometres west. SAV's real advantage is its proximity to the Port of Savannah, one of the largest container ports on the US East Coast and only about 16 to 25 kilometres away depending on the truck route. That combination suits sea-air and air-sea routings as well as spare-parts and emergency shipments for the logistics and manufacturing clusters along Interstate 16 and Interstate 95. Gulfstream Aerospace maintains its global headquarters on the field, with manufacturing, R&D and maintenance operations that generate steady aerospace parts traffic. Clearance is handled by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and a foreign trade zone in the port area can be used for storage and processing — worth checking with your forwarder in advance. Charleston (CHS) about 170 kilometres north-east and Jacksonville (JAX) roughly 220 kilometres south round out the alternatives alongside Atlanta.
