Airports Invest Billions to Double Cargo Capacity by 2030
Five global cargo airports are spending billions on expansion projects to more than double their freight capacity by 2030, driven by e-commerce growth and supply chain shifts.
The global air freight market has shifted in recent years. Cross-border e-commerce growth, changing manufacturing corridors, and disruptions in maritime supply chains are all pushing that change. Traditional cargo gateways in Europe, North America, and East Asia are coping with urban sprawl, outdated sorting facilities, and tarmac bottlenecks.
Airport operators and logistics companies are investing billions of dollars in expansion projects. The goal is to double or even quadruple freight-handling capacity over the next decade. Five global cargo airports are among those pursuing these mega-expansions.
