## Description

FedEx, UPS and Wiggins Airways carry the freight load at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR/KSYR), which handled 31,460 tons of cargo in 2025. Unlike many regional US airports, SYR works with dedicated freighters rather than belly capacity alone: FedEx operates Boeing 757-200s to Memphis and Indianapolis, while UPS runs Boeing 757-200 and Airbus A300 services to Louisville. The cargo estate sits southwest of the passenger terminal on about 22.5 acres and centres on a 100,000-square-foot warehouse with direct apron access, managed by Aeroterm. Handling covers general cargo as well as temperature-controlled traffic such as pharmaceuticals and perishables. Road connectivity is the real asset here: the interchange of Interstates I-81 and I-90 puts New York City, Boston, Toronto and Montréal within a single trucking day. Intercontinental shipments are in most cases cleared at the New York gateways (JFK, EWR) and then trucked into Syracuse by road feeder service. Shippers comparing options usually look at Rochester (ROC) and Albany (ALB) for similar regional lift, or Buffalo Niagara (BUF) for larger consignments. Aeroterm continues to market office, dock and apron space on the site to additional operators.
