Air cargo forwarders driving expansion of US freighter operations - The Loadstar. Ken Ryan, director of cargo at Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD), is looking forward to a boost for a recently established freighter connection across the Atlantic.

Air cargo forwarders driving expansion of US freighter operations - The Loadstar

In June, German forwarder Senator International extended its dedicated transatlantic freighter service from Germany’s Hahn Airport to Greenville-Spartanburg (GSP) in South Carolina, to a weekly connection to RFD. Senator runs multiple weekly flights on the Hahn-GSP route. “And we’re expecting this to increase to three times a week,” Mr Ryan said. As the second-largest US hub in the UPS network, RFD’s growth in recent years has been driven primarily by parcel traffic, but was further boosted by the launch of dedicated freighter flights for Amazon. The arrival of the B747-400 freighter for Senator marked the first regular international heavy freight operation for the airport. Senator has been using dedicated freighter capacity across the Atlantic on a regular basis since 2016.
