In summary, air cargo infrastructure development must be carefully integrated with the process of attracting and retaining air cargo carriers. Air cargo carriers have much more flexibility in selecting an airport and determining the magnitude of operations at an airport. Although an airport has little control over cargo volumes available to the carriers, it can create the infrastructure to support efficient operations. If the cargo volumes are available, you want them flown out of and into your airport. If the airport does not supply the necessary infrastructure, your competition will.
