## Description

FedEx Express, UPS Airlines and regional feeder Wiggins Airways anchor cargo at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (IATA: SYR, ICAO: KSYR), a former military field at the geographic centre of New York State. In 2025 it handled 31,460 tons of freight alongside 2.9 million passengers, working from a 100,000-square-foot cargo building on 22.5 acres with direct apron access. Heavy or intercontinental consignments still route through JFK, Newark (EWR) or Toronto. The transformational driver is Micron Technology's semiconductor mega-fab rising north of the city in Onondaga County, a planned investment of up to 100 billion dollars that generates exactly the high-value, time-critical freight that flies. In August 2025 more than 13 million dollars of FAA funding went into runways, taxiways and aprons, while the crossroads of Interstates I-81 and I-90 (the New York State Thruway) keeps trucking pre-carriage short. Customs clearance is handled by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
