Rockford: a boost for air cargo business


Chicago Rockford airport (RFD), one of the fastest growing cargo airports in USA, has announced that Menzies Aviation will expand its cargo operations to RFD.

 

The company, which provides aviation services at airports in 58 countries, will occupy Building 3 of the International cargo Centre (4,650 sqm) and provide cargo and freighter handling services to chartered and scheduled flights.

 

The Greater Rockford Airport Authority approved a lease agreement at its 26 January board meeting. The ten-year lease term will commence on 1 June 2023.

 

RFD executive director Mike Dunn: "Over the past eight years, we have invested over USD 200 million in air cargo operations. With Emery Air, the first cargo handler to operate at RFD, and Menzies Aviation working on the field, we expect enhanced growth of our international cargo business." (ah)
