GSP new air freight terminal to handle oversized cargo

Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport has received a new air freight processing and distributing terminal to handle cargo such as cars, car parts, medical supplies and equipment, manufacturing machinery and more. The 50,000-foot expansion represents an estimated US$5 million investment. The goal is to accommodate ongoing rapid growth in the airport’s freight operations, said the reports. According to the airport, the volume of air freight handled in 2021 increased 48 per cent over the year prior. Airport leaders say GSP is one of the fastest-growing airports in the country for freight. They want to compete with Atlanta and Charlotte for shipping in the future. Currently, the cargo flowing through GSP fuels upstate industry.
