In recent years, air cargo has been the fastest growing segment of the goods movement industry in the United States, placing increasing demands both on airports and ground transportation to/from airports. This project documents and analyzes issues confronting air cargo movements in Southern California (the Los Angeles and San Diego areas), develops strategies for accommodating growth in air cargo, and assesses the impacts of these strategies on carrier operations. The emphasis is on the operation of the cargo carriers themselves, rather than on the governmental entities that serve these carriers. Particular emphasis is given to operation of integrated carriers. Within Southern California, LAX is the dominant cargo airport, trailed by Ontario and San Diego. LAX acts as an international gateway between North America and Asia. It is also the location for the FedEx 'Metroplex' (min-hub). The majority of the freight traffic through LAX travels on passenger/freight airlines. Ontario is dominated by UPS' regional hub, which serves 78% of the airport's freight volume. San Diego provides a mixture of domestic and international service. Other airports serve domestic hub traffic of integrated airlines, within local areas. This report describes the roles of these airports with respect to the operational concerns of air cargo carriers.
