OMA Airport (Eppley Airfield) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

FedEx, UPS and DHL keep aircraft on the ramp at Eppley Airfield every day, and that roster is what makes Omaha (IATA: OMA, ICAO: KOMA) Nebraska's genuine cargo airport. In 2025 the airport handled about 65,000 tonnes of cargo and mail (143.5 million pounds) — roughly 20% more than in 2024. FedEx runs a dedicated air freight center on the field, alongside the UPS and DHL integrator networks. Amazon opened its first Nebraska gateway, HOM1, here in 2022, though it scaled back the dedicated regional flight to Fort Worth Alliance as it streamlined its network in 2024–25. Foreign-Trade Zone 19, granted to the Greater Omaha Chamber since 1983, adds duty-free storage and processing at its Cargo Zone site on North 16th Street. Omaha is also home to Union Pacific — the largest Class I railroad in the United States — and to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, so freight here meets both rail and capital. Interstate 80 east–west and Interstate 29 along the Missouri put bonded trucks within reach of the central plains, with UP and BNSF steel running alongside. Passenger flights link Omaha to every major US connecting point, but the airport's character is in cargo and express. For forwarders working the corridor between Chicago and Denver, OMA is the serious option.
