Ontario and Anchorage airports flying high


Only two US airports – Southern California’s Ontario International Airport (ONT) and Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) – experienced significant growth of commercial air freight shipments in the first five months of 2020 as consumers and businesses increasingly relied on e-commerce sources for household goods and critically needed PPE as the Covid-19 pandemic took hold.

 

According to a new analysis by Fitch Ratings, just ONT and ANC saw double-digit growth in commercial cargo while freight volumes at other major cargo hubs were either in line with 2019 or declined slightly.

 

From January through May, ONT saw tonnage increase more than 18% compared to the same period in 2019. According to ONT data, monthly and year-to-date increases were even greater in June (+20.2%) and July (+21.2%). (ah)
